“Growing Older and Forgetting” (First Poem In 3 Years)

As I grow older, my brain forgets

The love we shared on those frozen winter days

The pain remains; those details burnt in flames

But one thing stays the same

My moments with you in photographs stuck in universal time

That only one could envision at a distance

Everyone I know today or once passed on the street

Are dead from head to feet

I think God is playing a dirty trick

Or my life is twisted and sick

Performed just for you on a quiet stage

But my friend, it is just old age

I will always remember those magical days

When we would get into trouble and get in the way

Never wanting to play or stay

Maybe in the flowery days of May

Down by the bay in boats made of clay

Where it cost not a penny to pay

So where do we go from here?

Will it cost anything for a car, bus, plane, ship or bus fare

It doesn’t matter to me; I want to sit next to you again and talk mouth to ear

I wasn’t being rude, just wanted to give you my love, not a scare

I always thought of you as a sister or child to protect you from your deepest darkest fears

You turned out okay, so I guess I did my job, or maybe you figured out life without my care

I do know I will see you again on some strange foreign land

Where in the background we could hear some familiar band

To cheer up the moment and I could get closer to you and know what makes you tick

And we don’t have to worry about problems or tricks

Just the two of us together to laugh the days away and waste some time on this rock

And we don’t have to worry about the master clock

Old age is a funny thing

I keep thinking about why everyone is getting their wings

But then it hits me that our mentors are just at that age

Where it is just their time to exit the stage

My time will come soon enough, but I am in no rush

I think I will stay here just a little bit longer and enjoy the silent hush

Releasing the Mind Fog

Put my life in the hands of God

Breathe in Mountain air

Breathe out the city smog

Give you a big hug

Follow the dancing bug
