So here am I, ‘neath darkened sky
Vision turned in, not out through eye,
Where feelings dwell and motions yearn
For days long gone, ‘for tides did turn.
Where days of laughter, love and cheer
Were once the order of the year.
But times did change and I for one
Remembered times I thought were gone.
The times when my mind wandered forth
To vistas new in south or north,
Where who knows what, or when or why
Would land freely, before my eyes.
To excite, stimulate and flow,
Adventure causes me to grow!
Delight in joys of wondrous life
To counter all my worldly strife.
The journey of an open mind
Belongs to me and what I find.
Where limits are not yours to set
But mine to break, freedom to get.
