Extinction awaits
Man’s venom is nature’s bane
Charring existence

Sitting under that big old tree
Reminiscing about younger days
Thinking back on how we were
How the time has slipped away
Remembering the past
How we held it oh so close
Laughter, love and memories
Was what we cherished most
Sunlight shines upon us now
With a warm and tender glow
Calling us to journey forth
We have so far to go
Yes! Change of plan, change of pace
We’ll relish the time ahead
We shall never forget who we were
But remember who we are, instead

Born from yesterday
Here, biding my time
Lost in the present
The rhythm and rhyme
Looking to the future
With such trepidation
No wonder my past
Is my soul’s inspiration

With each flickering flame, my years unfold
Tapering down, leaving days of untold
Dripping memories, of past events
Happier times, still I’m not quite content
Candelabra in hand, a welcoming light
The fire, still burning, with no end in sight
Celebrating the day, reaching for more
Wondering what this life has in store
As closer to Halloween, comes the time
Knowing I still haven’t yet reached my prime
So, I’ll blow out the candles, let the wax seal my fate
On this day in October, 2016, twenty-eight
In case you haven’t figured it out, today is my birthday. I am taking the day to relax and enjoy. I’ll be sure to save you some cake 🙂
