Drifting

Echoes hover my lusting time
With a cover of dust and grime
And dark gray lines the inner clouds
Of priceless fray I once was proud.

A Fer-de-lance, strikes poison chance
I dance the edge in aging stance
Leaving me in lenient bleed a
Blood letting, ancients curing deed

Hopelessness is a tired horse
Morose along a musty course
Fireflies and tears of passion
Dimmed to low and turned to ashen.

Vast has cast my rage of fission
Into an old and dusty vision
The saddle turns my rump to shreds
Daffodils turn to lily beds.

It seems I missed my valleys green.
And seek in tea the elder’s mien.

Ya know Stinky...if this wasnt such a cool poem...
Id have to fuss at you about all the anologies of being old
  

Me thinks its time for a new saddle for Randy and a flight to Shangri-La to chase away these blues ...
I hear they are serving raspberry tea on the flight *L*

Wonderful Sy.  I love it.  
Guys like you don't get old, they age like a fine wine

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
