There’s reason to go on, they say.
Just take it slow and day by day.
But see, I know I’ve lost my way.
And no, my friend, it’s not okay.
Good intentions, noble hearts.
No avail, my life’s in parts.
Some are missing, some are old.
Tarnished is the burnished gold.
With a rueful smile I see
There’s no getting back to me.
So with what remains, I’ll go,
Hat in hand, a so-and-so.
What’s that, friend?
You’ll say a prayer?
Does my heart good
that you care.
Thank you for that.
Leaving now.
God don’t answer
why or how.
Still, I won’t say no.
You pray.
Say it as I
walk away.
Love you too friend,
don’t you cry.
Don’t think I’ll be back
to try
starting over,
learning new.
Time is short,
and days are few.
Gonna watch the sun go set.
Come with me, and pray, and let us
share that moment,
knowing why .
And when the sun sets.
So will I.
An intriguing piece. Nice one Alfred.
