Just south of Boston
In a small seaside town
Over the ocean the Sun came up
To the west it went down
And in this small town
There lived a young boy
Mystified by the stars
Fun loving but also coy
Growing up curious
Always in search of answers
From insistence of questions
Of life’s many dancers
Occasionally this boy
Pondered where life might take him
To the skies on silver wings
Or lands of spontaneous whim
Fast forward many years
A man of poetry
Writing of various branches
On life’s poetic tree
Now retired from work
Time upon his hands
Reflecting on life
Through poetry he understands
He looks upon life
With new found eyes
The wag of a dog’s tail
And the wonder of starlit skies
And in that rear view mirror
He remembers love
How one young girl
Was all he dreamed of
His life a collage
Like pages in a book
Page after page
A reminiscing look

Thank you N. 😊
This poem is such a beautiful reflection on life. Reminiscence of youth, and this wonderful stanza "He looks upon life
With new found eyes
The wag of a dog’s tail
And the wonder of starlit skies", for we do see things with "new found eyes", though they be aging. You've captured something very unique and special here. Thank you dear friend!
Thank you Bella for your wonderful review and compliment on my poem. One of those poems that took all of my 67 years to write. 😊
Isn't it incredible that aging brings such clarity .
