As lasting moonbeams shine their light
And life's long shadow bids out of sight
An old man sighs his long last breath
And hears no more for here is death
Afloat, he looks at his past life
And all his dreams have brought him strife
Away he wants to throw his past
And make these griefs be his sad last
About to sail into the sky
And live his dream so he can fly
Around the sun he sails and reels
And makes his dream seem oh so real
Along his path he sees his love
And bids her come from up above
At last they meet in hugs and tears
And they must kiss as each one nears
Aches and pains move out of sight
And all he sees her radiant light
Alas he has a choice to make
And he must know what is at stake
Askance, he looks between his love
and his great dreams up from above
Aloud, his thoughts yell from all ways
And he just steams for days and days
Abrupt, he throws up his two hands
And wishes that God gave him plans
"Abate, my thoughts!" he yells at space
And soon he wonders what does he chase
Away he thinks he ponders and steams
And then he asks "Which one can gleam?"
Awed at his dream it seems so good
And sailing far seems understood
Also, he thinks that there is love
And figures that it's like a glove
At last he makes that great decision
And comes in time to his clear vision
Asking himself that one last time
And knowing that choice is sublime
Amid his thoughts he dreams his love
And figures that she is his dove
Around his ship they do not cease
And finally love has brought him peace
(okies, it's not done...just that I'm trying to make everything start with an "A" word and then "and" Then an "A" word and so on and so on...and right now, i'm running out of ideas of "A" words... *sigh*..BUT I DID ADD A NEW VERSE ...in blue..
