Poem Commentary

This was in memorial of my best friends loss of his father in a tragic motorcycle accident.

Predecessors of Time

Is legacy a state of mind

Or is it actions one takes...

Thoughts one might have...

To better comprehend...

What those whom they predecessed

Failed to find?

 

Is a golden legacy more like music or wine

One can last forever

Where the other disappears

…One sip at a time?


When you feel you can take no more

Close your raging eyes and drift back in time

Then you will hear the “Piano Man”

From days that were Yore

And he will remind you...

"For you, there is even more!"

 

Take another sip

Hear another heart ringing sound

But never let your memories be...

A simple fading glimpse

Just like another swirling...

Dust in the Wind.

I loved this, loved it loved it...I TOO,,,travel back within the realms of my mind and write as if in another time. This was beautifully written.

It is great when one does find another one who steps with them, through reminiscing times. Thanks to these mutual feelings perhaps we might philosophically link into each others minds, stanza after stanza, one line at a time.

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
