Not So Long Ago

Not So Long Ago

Seen clear in hindsight; just past the roe.
How to hold and use glee, given from the bow.
Smile that absent tooth grin, in hast, the sails fly again.
Raging seas gilded what I know now as friend.

So many used to like me, not so long ago,
It seems we danced our final jig, and didn't even know.
Doesn't seem to matter much, it seems now they're gone.
Interesting how the world spins in melancholy song.

The wind hammers hard quickly pushing my vessel,
Along great seas to that warm distant shore.
Where confidant charismatic charisma flows
Like dripping honey to the golden outback the mind knows.
