Soliloquy
Whatever I’ve strived for, one tries to make the most of...
Ok. often did tend to the extreme :)
Our younger years anon do ripen with the seasons
Bold Shiraz traversed to strong black tea
At times, could say, I’ve wanted for more than I might deserve
Performance at times pocked with impassivity;
Cold reason being, life has taught me
Stay well-grounded in what you need
Lifelong friends and growing family are there for you to honor
One can attest to the distinct pleasures there;
Staying close, help when you can
Astute in knowing when ‘not’ to interfere
Anxiety for the niggardly years can alas shine an ugly light
If staring fearful, spellbound, into it’s beam;
Au contraire, 'living life for the day' is the best
Stonewalled against life's bitter scenes
But most times, be 'as one', with your brothers
Given indulgent late nights trimmed;
Contentment found in what it is you truly value
Browning petals, now ...well left to the wind
From my desktop Grahame J Flynn Views in Verse
