Live Life

Lived life like I wanted.
Held a standard like no other.
Walked above the fray.
Stood aside looking at the bay.
Ships came in and ships set out.

What was it I thought.
What was it I wanted.

Now I stand with my life mostly lived.
But everything is asunder, ablaze, cracked lightning burnt off thunder.
Here I am with my life mostly lived.
I had it all, neatly organized, realized, told with no lies.
Then I look back at my life mostly lived.
So much done, so much prepared, ready for today yet it’s all despair.
As if I’d lost my dreams, my pride, my hope and my goals.
I strolled along watching it, had it all, yet somewhere in the folds.
Here I am with my life mostly lived.
I had it all, neatly organized, ready, true, and realized.
Then I look back at my life mostly lived.
and what is left of it all.

Nothing of lived life. All gone and all lost.

Adventures unfolded. Empire untold.
Friends there friends here, laid to rest and set to the grave.
Lived life, life mostly lived.
