Voices

Voices from long ago call echo in dreams Memories of childhood, joyous, sweet, innocent Bright golden summers seemed never-ending Happiness reigned, days so rich with love Family supporting, encouraging, guiding the way Parents and brother long gone, grave deep. Burdened with old age, anthric bones, blood pressure Alone, difficulty walking, time cruelly speeded up, Destination the grave coming ever closer. Throughout life sought meaning and truth Found the blue planet like single grain of sand Lost within desert of stars expanding outwards Away into eternal space, limit unknown, While wondering existence of a loving God.
