Melting Melodious Moments Of The Past
MELTING MELODIOUS MOMENTS OF THE PAST
The moon so high and on the deck with me.
Through my eyes the path upon the sea.
I viewed the ocean into the days gone by,
Feelings deeply stirred, I do heavily sigh.
The salty murmur, beauty, and all that it holds,
Smell the air of sea breath, where romance unfolds.
A carriage, a horse, a dream, a vision,
Beautiful majestic looking buildings now an illusion.
On Diamond rings and maids, a blessing from above
Many a mansion stood their true loves,
Beauty and liberty, a mass of graves,
The days run by, memories don’t decay…
Sighs and melting grief's, with flowing tears,
As I leave to enter another…sad and polluted sphere,
Are stilled by yonder harbor lights
My aching eyes turn away from this sight.
A doubtful horizon nods from side to side.
The grains of titillating dust rise high,
As I cast my eyes up to the sky.
In endless mirth what’s done in earth,
Deep rooted in pain, I sail back to the time of my birth.
What we dread we do silently face,
Alas! farewell, farewell, with dignity and grace.
