Emergence

I think back to the days when young
And futures songs were yet unsung
Be it those of thought or tongue
Urging me to grow

As time upon me did prevail
Unveiling life in great detail
Daring my thoughts to travail
Practice what I know

Experience and knowledge led
Me down my unknown road ahead
Where I’ve
lived in good stead
Taken where I had to go

That was then and this is now
I’ve lived all life would allow
Surviving all the sling’s somehow
Exploiting all I know

Life I think is a cocoon
Which we enter
from so soon
To find a world already strewn
With much we must forego

About oldmainer

I am a retired manager living in Southern Maine and a would be writer of poetry, narratives, short stories, and random opinions, and that's how Oldmainer was born. Recently, I decided to try an experiment. I added photography to the mix, using only a cheap cell phone with a limited camera and the editing software that came with it, and added the blog site Inklings at poormanspoet.wordpress.com to showcase the results. So, feel free to use whatever you find interesting or worthy, but please honor the terms of my copyright when and if you do. They may not be much, but they are still a piece of me. I appreciate your checking me out and hope that you find something that will encourage a return visit. Thanks for stopping by.
