[hometext] => Death is not the enemy, I fear. After all, dreamless sleep comes only to the living.
[bodytext] => We all start, (Much to future chagrin, in fact) Invincible. It is these words, that Carry wax wings Where feeble hope dares not, And bitter truth knows better. Somewhere, somewhere, ‘long the way, Belongs to me, as some might say, The right to dreams come true. Where it went, or where it may Perhaps by reason led astray I wish, I wish, I knew. For flying, I fear Speaks not to the gifts we are given But the prize Forever Out of reach. And here am I, and who am I To, truly now, complain? I’ve watched the seconds, wander by, I’ve watched them wait, and glance, or try And I have let them down, I’m afraid. And this, this, This is your pension plan. For you and I, old friend, Are too old To not know better. So easy, like the record skips, I’ll just forget the million trips I swore I’d take, I’d see And softly now, the music slips, Perhaps another second chips Away, a piece of me. ~Lullabye, and good night, Let your childhood dreams slumber Hush the stars, dim the lights, (‘Til the end of your days.)

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
