Destination Home
He walked along the tree-lined lane,
his destination, home.
As he walked, the sights of spring,
gave greater urge to roam.
Each happy, fragrant day of spring,
the little boy would roam.
Always seeking what life would bring,
straying, often, far from home.
The tree-lined lane, now lush with green,
as summer days grew long,
was traveled more, yet rarely seen
as the young man hurried home.
Too busy to appreciate
the summer flowers' bloom,
he dare not risk his being late;
today, he is the groom.
The leaves on trees along the lane
were slowly turning red.
The young man's son has now come home
and hurries off to bed.
The man now walks with his grandson,
each autumn day so dear.
More precious now, the time to roam,
as winter days grow near.
The trees along the lane are bare,
the old man walks alone.
No hurry now, he'll soon be there;
his destination, home.

There are dishes in the sink
And laundry on the brink
Of becoming quite a
I reflect on memories of the past
I realize there is no time
To absently waste our tomorrows
To look for what we can not find
Knowing
EPIC GLORY
There is no time
for the mind
to whisper in silence
crouched
in anticipation
for flight
and to do
what no man
