Winters bane has lifted
though in truth it really never came
small spats of it appeared
transitions of warm and cold
Nothing really momentous came about
often times I dreamed of a south
that was in my mind a perception
of folklore that made it trivial.
But behold the changes in my stature
the wry grin returns to my face
grizzled by the years past me now
as I found the pleasant peace of it all.
Finding the eyes of all those faces
that smile in genuine rapport
as the ask how the day goes for you
without pretense or reservation.
The storm has lifted, the lightning passed
a full moon has come tonight
with it dreams of things to look forward to
and things to be thankful for.
How so have I found the remembrance
of a grand sight in front of me
that spells my soul to finding out
if the road ahead is the past.

Sounds like you have had a revelation, an epiphany more or less.

Depends on your viewpoint, I guess.  As one advances in age, I think the road ahead because we find we think more of what was, the years behind - we reminisce, we walk in the memories, even as we greet tomorrow.

Good piece, my friend.
