I've just read this beautiful poem. It's a sad saga of long lost youth, reflective of the love involved with it: 'As time weighs heavy on my mind The fleeting years sustain - Fond memories of youth long lost And true love still remain' Really wonderful!

Our life seems to fly away with the birds of the night But things always look better with the morning light

A fine reflection on inevitable decline with hopes or some where else to trick and appease the mind.

Gutsy poem about aging, written in your melodic style with melancholy dripping from every word. Finality its ending, fall into nothingness. Strong imagery. Well written. Now being a dead pirate I can get away with some liberties. At 400 plus years I don't dare look in the mirror. From your writing I would say you are still in your prime. Primed and ready, now put on your pirate suit and lets go sailing!

Nostalgic. A piece that reveals the natural process of life through all of its waxing and waning. A piece that touches deeply, and warms the heart. Thank you.

Gazing in the mirror where The phantoms of my youth Flicker as reflections there As visions of the truth Years have passed and blown away My dreams and hopefulness - I now, as in maturity, (The balance to redress) ..... ..... Fall, into nothingness unbeatable content of digest..........kudos! !
