FADING

Tonight it’s dark and lonely,

I sit outside, upon a chair,

Look up towards the sky;

The moon’s a blur,

The stars are hidden,

It’s cold and overcast tonight.

I cough, I’m going,

Very slowly,

But soon I will be gone.

ETERNAL CHILDHOOD

The years have flown away

And I am not a child

But the music’s still the same,

The music of my life.

My highest moments are

Those which always would have been;

I may live my diverse ways,

Some good, most of no lasting use,

I may know adulthood,

But never lost my childhood.

My numerous wayward wanderings

And total abject failures

Are not what I remember
