He Roams His Memories
The highway of glory
He dreads the day of retreat from the sun,
The pristine cleanliness of the historical story,
The twinkling of the starlight on the darkest of nights,
Honouring him in his wisdom and his glory.
The door to the future is open wide,
Waiting for his decision to take the risk and fight,
Abandoning the mundane for a life well lived,
A story told through the ages as his grandchildren say goodnight.
Miles stretch across the love of the heart,
Distances broken down by the age of technology,
The light blesses his loving heart with happiness,
Learned by the lesson of ancient mythology.
He rides the airwaves of the sun’s rays,
The heat scorching his tormenters following his flight,
Burning the darkness from the blackest of hearts,
From the fiery gaze that welcomes his sight.
The thatched roof of the ancestral home shines,
With the memories collected from year to year,
The laughter, the tears, the happiness of his loved ones,
Shirking the horrors, the terrors of his deepest fear.
