A Wraith's Tale

A Wraith's Tale

++++++++++++++++++++++

Battered and Forgotten,

The Wispy Form Takes a Step,

The Trail of His Tears,

Shadow His Once Strong Traipse,

Its a Familiar Shodden Path,

That bares Its way Before Him,

How He wound up here again,

Is a Question Just beyond Him,

His Fingers Trace the Scars,

Over where His heart may have Been,

Its last Crumbles Long Borne,

On the Back of a Cold Southern Wind,

He Dared to Dream Before,

Maybe Twice or Thrice In Faith,

Splitting These Scars in hope,

To Find the Heart of a Wraith,

But Alas, There was None,

Not All Souls were Destined to Dream,

Some are Just the Dust,

That Let Others Sleep Serene,

Tho Some Stories end Warm, 

There are Tales that Turn Skins Cold,

This is One Such  Tragedy

Of a Youth given a Life Too Old...

Sometimes I cannot speak my thoughts coherently, But I am thankful that I have this place, where I can leave these memories. This poem speaks for itself, and it speaks for me...

The World Calls,

Yet We Sit Still,

Amidst this Concrete Jungle,

Forgetting Life’s Thrill,

We were Born once,

Kids that Embraced Adventure,

Our Imagination, They Took From Us,

Leaving Pawns for their Venture,

Yet The Stars remain,

Within Sight on This Island,

Reminding Forgotten Truths,

That Our Reach is Further Than this Cavern,

Mankind Has built Skyscrapers,

But Left behind Their Lesson,

These Stars are within Reach,

If only We Hearken Their Beckon…

Another Long Absence. It happens. But there's something about a clear night sky, with the ocean lapping at your feet, and a ga-ja-za-billion stars out there to put Life in Perspective. Everyone one of those Hot Balls of Gases could be surrounded by 8 Planets like ours, Thats Exponential, Yet, in all that great vastness, we still have a part to play in this circle of life. How we make use of it, now That is Always the Question...

We Are born with the Potential to change our Fates and improve the lives of those around us. We should never settle for anything less then the Stars themselves...
