Press play and let the music wash over you as you read.
Salute.
Have you ever looked deep
Into the mirror
And wondered if you've really
Done enough
Left something tangible
Something future
Generations can listen
See or read through
And make a fuss
A legacy of your vision or dreams
Stories they maybe can trace
Through a time
When you were once young
And free
Chasing life
Filled with deep dreams
Or drunk and lucid
Spilling stories whilst licked up
On Loves delicious red wine
What do you see
When you look really deep
Into the Mirrors of Time
Past all the makeup
Wrinkles
Beards
Or eyes that still might pine
One holiday a year
Smiles in the 2 week hot
Sun.
Then back to work
Grinding hard through the
Year
For a return
To your only perk
Is that the only legacy
You're going to leave
To describe your dreams
Is that the lonely story
Of your lifetime
Or are you going to reach
Deep into the breech
Place your chips on life's ever
Spinning roulette's
And create a new legacy
They'll never be ashamed to forget
