My Legacy
My legacy I suppose Will always be everything I looked forward to He said with a sideways glance and the infinite sonance of a soaring sigh. Living in this age of eyes Doesn’t distort what I have always seen I can still touch What was always Just beyond my reach The cry of my heart Is the melancholy aria Of the faraway gull Softened by the sun A sparkle in a telescope Until it lands In the secret place Beneath the fine plumage Of time and shadows Where it can rest its wings and dream Banish and plot And try to remember The last time it was adored by the sky
