the wonder of it all came quick
to a mid-night passage across the sea
for a lonely traveller who sat alone
and looked to the stars, of hope to be.
he had traveled all his life
in second wisdom he had fallen ill
to the trampings of long ago dreams
that value nothing, taking your will.
he had found solice in the new
the experiance of what may be,
forgetting what had been before
and that was his great tragedy.
he could not remember his fallen lives
the ones that made him go away
to find the stars that took him home
the last of many foolish parades.
and finnally sitting alone on deck
on an ancient ship of glorious steam,
he closed his eyes to drift away
letting his soul to be truely free.

This is a sorrowful tale, but I like the sense of peace at the end. A very nice write,

I have, I've walked that road each time; that's where my angel sleeps
