BARDOBS CURE...

Bardobs Cure

He possesses time that has passed

time that resides firmly in his grasp

He is surrounded by today's freshness

while living in past tenseness

The glory of years gone

remain colored by old visions strong

in the passions of scribbled powers

that live in dreams of ivory towers

All while restless phantoms roam along

dimly represented by skeletal form

strewn about the darkened streets

and stepped on with stumbling feet

He searches for bygone days now obsolete

in the afterglow of youths defeat

and in the blackness of the darkest night

still engages in lifes good fight

seeking immortality on times sweet train

As he prepares for extinction in vain

by quietly leaving footprints in literary sands

temporarily marking times relentless hand

History will embrace his pale form

as he slumbers there alone

eternally withdrawn and unafraid

of the times passed when he has failed
