Just Beyond The Sunset Revisited

Time flies by so quickly almost in a blink of an eye and years vanish almost completely. It does not seem forty-three years ago I put pen to paper and wrote what has turned out to be my best poem ever. The one that has attracted more attention than any other I have written. Its accolades still confound me as I am in wonder of them all. Especially as it was never written as a poem at all, but a lyric for a song. As a lyric, it was turned down as being rather immature, but as a poem, it is loved by everyone. I find it hard to believe that forty-four people have added it to their favourites list. I am still rather in awe of its reception. I am still trying to comprehend that any one of my works would be so highly prized. Every time I read it, I try to find the essence everyone else sees. The beauty within it that captures their imagination. One day someone might explain to me the beauty I actually captured, at least I hope they will, as I’d dearly love to know. 16 November 2009
