Huh?
By Emma Lee
Fortunately for you, you made it out alive.
Or was that unfortunately for me?
Silver stars or twinkles toes,
Doesn't matter much these days.
Earthly wisdom or drunken babble,
Who's to say?
Leave it at that my friend, and walk away.
I went to the park the other day, looking for my lost youth.
It wasn't there of course.
I found a road I thought I'd forgotten.
It was hidden by the trees.
It still led me nowhere.
Good to know some things never change.
Good to know I can still get lost in my own head.
Hope to see you there someday.

Lol, I figured you might ask that. He was a music artist/poet from the late 60s, and early 70s. His lyrics were rather out of his mind. He basically went mad, and became a recluse. Died last month. Sorry if it still doesnt make sense.
