Reflections
Storm
sitting by the fireside
watching the embers die
thinking of the years gone past
reflections in a golden eye
I once stood by an ocean
listened to its mighty roar
no doubt of my invincibility
convinced that I would soar
The vastness of that sea
The power of those waves
seemed to beckon to me from below
Like a light from darkened caves
The thundering crashing
Of whatever powers that be
certainly had a humbling effect
on the ego that was me
who are you to humble me
I screamed inside my mind
for the mocking silence that followed
had my thoughts all in a bind
a little unsteady,not quite so sure
on the edge of the cliff I sat
to ponder the meaning of my existence
to put on my thinking hat
from the warmth of the sun,to the chill of the night
alone with the angry sea
came the realization of a journey
that was about to start for me
the questions to be answered
the ones I needed to hear
what is inside of me
what are the things I will hold dear
my character,my morals,
my dignity and my strength
this is what is important to me
no longer to be held at arms length
so a journey did start that day
one deep inside my heart
to become the man I wanted to be
from which I would never part
I smile now,to think of that day
and how it all came to be
certainly a onesided talk
between the angry sea and me
so a journey I did undertake
to learn all about me
to hell and back it seemed
in my struggle to be free
I've met many interesting people
seen many interesting sights
learned all about both and bad
and other assorted frights
into the depths of hell I did plunge
in order to experience all
to learn more about myself
the further I had to fall
by some unknown power
unscathed emerged did I
with an understanding and knowledge
that money just can't buy
the course was set in my minds eye
all through thick and thin
for to know where you are going
you must know where you've been
the years went on
my life went past
and everything was put to use
for those lessons learned did last
I am so very happy now
with a love to call my own
and it is such a joy to watch
and see how it has grown
I stand before the mirror now
to see what i could see
and all I really want
is to like who is looking back at me
yes the hair is still long as ever
and the earring still does shine
the beard now has a touch of grey
but the world is truly mine
I smile as a hand appears
on my shoulder ever so light
my beautiful slave has come to warm me
all through the cold dark night
somehow the colors are brighter now
all the colors on this green earth
seems everything is more alive
as I wait for my slave to give birth
so maybe I turned out allright
by the ocean on that day
so that I can help my newborn child
learn along the way
now I lay me down to sleep
peaceful to the core
but every now and then,late at night
I can still hear the ocean roar
