Instilled a sense of wonderment
from old tales told anew
Distilled in timeless firmament
some vapor trails through

Discerned from the surrounding mist
and brought forth into light
Returned the boundless spirit's gifts
sought by those who write

Of cargo ships who's manifests
contain faint memories
Flowing wisps once more attest
refrains of centuries

Gone but not forgotten
as we imbibe great draughts of past
Drawn from vintage lots then ...
inscribed that they might last

LOL Just don't do it again Doc. Or is that what makes you write such good poetry ?

Ahh, superbly told, Doc...this is a timeless accounting, indeed, the way you've expressed it with your engaging verse.

Dr.Moose~
Hmmmmm !
Had an 'antler' full, huh ?

'Of cargo ships who's manifests
contain faint memories
Flowing wisps once more attest
refrains of centuries'

This poem is wonderful !
I love to go to the archives and dredge
up the oldie-goldies !
Thanks for sharing this with us, hon.
