Uncharted
By Temerity
The ship of life on the ocean of time
Never turns back for things left behind
Disappointed flesh, crippled dreams
Sanity slipping through fragile seams
Mixed memories fill boxes on our shelves
The cross could never save us from ourselves
Ride high on each wave and crash down again
Clinging to the certainty of where we've been
And it happens that we pass into this season
Chasing all rhymes in search of a reason
Windows & mirrors become opaque
Shrouded by each choice we make
I did not sign up for this
I did not sign up for this
... I ...
... remember ...
... innocence ...
Transparencies of truth thru the eyes of a child
Optimistic wonder in a world gone wild
For all the things we hope to keep
That which we've sown, so shall we reap

A nice reflection on the passage of time, and its affect on us in gerneral. Sometimes I hope that last line is true...others, well...I throw down the hoe...sometimes I just wonder.

This was amazing. I'll go with Butch down there...killer. Your rhyme was nearly flawless. Great flow and rhythm. Powerful words. I could quote several of these lines but suffice it to say you've done something rare with rhyme. I enjoyed it. --Jes
