A memory retreat in retrospect
Gazes the enchantment of friendships;
All begin darting like a sparrow
Swimming in air free of earth-
Till dusted ways of earth muddles,
Stance and position transpose
The arduous and cordial bond.
A gutter of pauper dreaming aloft
To dazzling hemispheres in reverie;
Seeking to alter destitute to prosper
Till landing to the stern world
Where frail deeds pant down in fraility-
To the intricate perplexity of sorrows,
Disgrunts,malcontent all in a savage rage.
A flower of beauty may stray the mind
To evocative incantations vividly painted;
There dwells wondering hope and restive
Tossing mind trying to o`erthrow the lass-
And yet not withstanding of effort the flower
Of beauty alters to a thorn veld before
The very seeking eyes downcast in agony.
Ah! True happiness cannot be enticed
By a searching mind nor summoned
Midst the gloom and grief to be relished;
And when it comes it does justice
To injustices with unrivaled bliss-
Then melancholy trill alters to a merry card.
