Tomorrow

Accidental Poet



 

As stars twinkle in the sky

I awake in confusion

My slumber interrupted

To find myself in disillusion

 

And there the culprit smiles

My Muse working overtime

Burning the midnight oil

Searching that elusive rhyme

 

Ok, I’m up now

Invested, ’I’m all in

Let’s get to work

Investigate the mysteries within

 

The day is young

But not say I

As the years have taken toll

I ponder questions of how and why

 

For I am a curious soul

Always exploring untraveled roads

They say life’s a journey

And onward I must go

 

With an insatiable companion

My trusty Muse at my side

Ever the silent poet

My driving gears inside

 

Of which I can’t complain

Many roads I’ve gone before

Here I am again

The threshold of another door

 

Retirement is taking me

On a new road to follow

My journey ever sweeter

Waiting for me tomorrow

      Dear friend, for years I listened to The Diane Rehm Show on NPR, until her retirement after 40 years in journalism, in 2016.
      She was a wonderful journalist and interviewer, and I still use the coffee mug that has her signature and motto "Stay Curious" on it. Wishing you Happy Retirement! Stay Curious my friend, your muse will be right there with you.

        Thank you so much Bella. I don't know of the journalist you mentioned, but I like her motto. 😁
