Hi there friends, been scouring the archives and came across the following poem, something I was quite proud of at the time of writing.
I remember sitting out on my verandah taking in the serenity of Kalangadoo Bay and anticipating my next venture trolling the lake to do battle with a king brownie, but the ambience quickly had me reminiscing days gone bye and what the future might hold...hence this poem did unfold.....hope you like.
A
PYRAMID OF MEMORIES
A
MAN TAKES TIME TO REMINISCE
AS
HIS LIGHT BEGINS TO FADE
AS
HIS MEMORIES CAST THEIR SHADOW
ACROSS
THE LIFE THAT HE HAS MADE
WILL
HIS FAILURES CAUSE HIM TO REGRET
OR
WILL HE BE SATISFIED
THAT
WHAT HE HAS ATTAINED IN LIFE
WILL
ENRICH THOSE HE LEAVES BEHIND.
MANY
HIGHWAYS HE DID WANDER
SEARCHING
FOR HIS DESTINY
FROM
THE SILENCE OF THE HEARTLAND
TO
THE CITIES BY THE SEA
THE
SOULS HE TOUCHED ALONG THE WAY
BECAME
A LIBRARY IN HIS MIND
A
PYRAMID OF MEMORIES
TO
CALL ON ANY TIME.
BUT
NOW THE TIME IT HAS COME
FOR
HIM TO JOURNEY ON
THERE
IS NO NEED TO CRY FOR HIM
HE
WOULD PREFER A SONG
HE
HAS ONLY ONE MORE BRIDGE TO CROSS
TO
REACH THE WINDOW IN THE SKY
TAKING
WITH HIM... HIS PYRAMID OF MEMORIES
TO
REMEMBER US ALL BY.
