The Old Man

CATEGORY

life

Views: 199

 

Sits beside his window, his red-rimed eyes

Unseeing

In his mind are sunsets and rainbows,

And shining stars in the dense cold blackness

 

Of space

He listens to the laughter of children, mixed

With the static roar of the engines

Of ancient warplanes,

 

And longs for the cool, loving caress

Of the sea

He dreams of a place where every decision

Is right,

 

And every game played

Is won

And the mezzo-forte of day diminishes

To the pianissimo of dusk, he wonders,

 

Did I do it right ?

May I play

Again ?

What I gleamed from this writing is something I have found myself doing. It is a great reflection on the questioning of a life lived along with the mistake made with a desire to reconcile them while understanding there is no chance of this. Exceptionally well written Hitalot879
