Walking down the streets of an ancient world
touching bricks covered in history
while following the footsteps of kings and queens
the feeling of home begins to settle in
and the past begins to draw near
like a previous act
of a play you're now starring in
It all comes together
walking down these foggy streets
passing under street lamps untouched by time
and by windows that have stared out on the world
since there has been one to be found
Everything makes sense
yesterday and tomorrow
next week and yesteryear
No matter the trials you face
and whether you quit or triumph
these walls will still be here
Even after you're gone
and just a memory to those who loved you
these foggy streets will play host
to those who want to follow kings and queens long gone
and even after you're forgotten
just a name in a dust-covered book
these windows will remember you
turning a forgotten heart into a piece of history
and an overlooked actor
into the most amazing theater ever created
Wonderful …
I like this poem a lot. Then again, I like most of your poems, at least the ones I've read so far. I am fond of history and I adore the way the words were assembled. Bows.
I usually come here for the rants and the stories, but I like this particular poem. I prefer it to your more emotional work. The only thing I wasn't as keen on was the lines
"like a previous act
of a play you're now starring in"
It just seemed a little wierdly worded. Kind of broke the flow.
Gorgeous. I fell into it like a dream. I could smell the words and places like a childhood memory. Thank you.
