Dirge Of Passing

Dirge Of Passing

–

I am from another time

this one it’s yours and not mine,

where I’m from I won’t say

passing through, I won’t stay.

~

Sadness keeps company well when no other company I keep

moments, brief ones filled with regrets, and those I regret

for wasted life has no place in words, a thousand words set

in books never written, when others written make me weep.

~

I am from another land

this one it’s yours where I stand,

where I’m from I won’t say

passing through, I won’t stay.

~

Soon life will lose its attraction, attracted I was (am) to the mind

of poets and dreamers, but dreamers fade into dreams weaved

by their own search for love, when love is missed and grieved

if needed to create beauty, the beauty between words we find.

~

I am from another place

this one it’s yours to embrace,

where I’m from I won’t say

passing through, I won’t stay.
