In dark pursuit man will choose to walk Does not seek the better way Of higher morals people tend to balk Seek the night instead of day Until time comes when tongues run out of talk Nothing of worth left to say
One uses the time twixt twilight and dawn To gather data for new goals Hoping to escape what evil has spawned Subtly trying out new roles Like the groundkeeper cares for a new lawn The dreamer tends to his soul
There dwelt within the mans compelling eyes Mystery of dreams filled with pain The pigment seemed to deepen them with lies Made life's illusions nothing gained When daylight hours lit them with surprise Prayers for rain to wash away stain
The road ahead though littered with regret Shows hope not temerity Relieved with no need to worry or fret Dreams find new vitality The time has come for the light to be met Looking foward to eternity
Another gem from you Eileen...I especially liked the ending and last four lines touched me ...excellent!
Best wishes always to you and yours
(thank you so much)

Our light is internal and it recognizes the light from others. It is a bond that comes without negatives and it's richness knows only the word priceless.
Wow, great pic, where is that?
I love this piece, Eileen! Though it has a lot of meaning, it's soothing as well. Just what I need this monring!
Merry Christmas, my dear!!
Love,

Eileen thank you for sharing a very moving and uplifting write. and yes Andy I do believe most of the poets talents have gone up a knotch or 7 or 8.
Thank you Eileen. Have a wonderful Christmas and the best in health and happiness in 2008.
A sublime voice singing ontological and spiritual axioms through the magnificent poetic lines of "Man Reaching His Years". An aliment for the soul, and a full meal for the mnd.
I salute You, Poet.

Is it me waking up, or has the talent of many poets on here gone up a knotch or 7.
Such an uplifting poem. I wonder if we'll all talk about poetry n stuff when we all meet up in the wild blue younder...
As I read this beautiful words of wisdom
I could feel the hope you expressed in this poem!
The final stanza is powerful
And inspirational!
Wishing you to be richly blessed
With an abundance of Peace, Love, Joy,
Merry Christmas....Yolie
Looking forward to Eternity, those are very powerful words ET,
In dreams eternity lives, in reality eternity seems unreachable.
Much Peace, Love, and Light,

The hope expressed in this poem fills my heart. Each day that I live, I find that there are times that I find myself looking forward to the day that I get to see Him face-to-face, and thank Him for all His goodness and love.
Yes, but all men have some good in them, if you can reach them with love, like Jesus did, and some you can't, as you can see in what they did to an innocent grown child! Very thoughtful poem Eileen! Bless you! Jasmin Horst
Dear Eileen, Your poem is moving and it is a great write. In my age I keep learning from people like you. God Bless you and Merry Chistmas Emile

Waxing philosophizing on the countdown to the birth of Christ are we, Eileen? Deep thought process within the lines of this very simple poem, although written in the complex. To see that eternal light is the way of the ones bold enough to walk tall among lepers . . . There are too few to count . . . Look around . . .
It seems like we're sleep-walking our way in a dense fog as a result of too much information and "enlightenment" that dazzles and blinds, sometimes. Coupled with being overloaded with the demands of materialism by which we are bombarded and all too often succumb, we can end up losing our ability to think at all. I wish I could think as straight on a London High Street at rush hour as your chappie on his mountain top, Eileen. Much truth in your words thoughtfully expressed here. Love, Kate xx
Yes ... I am convinced that the fullness of time is approaching. I, too, believe that the days are short and the trumpet is being polished and readied for those written in the Book Of Life.
