Justin Gildow Poems

Grab your goblet or chalice
We'll drink to a toast
We'll wish that the beauty will forever remain in the palace
We'll try to enjoy our finest hour the way we can the most
...

When you all come
I'll come running
I'll wait to hear your music
I'll wait for it to take me away
...

I shake your hand
And your eyes burn straight into me
You speak softly, swiftly, and seriously
Not afraid to hold anything back
...

In the dead of night
There's reason to dream away
There's reason to be sentimental
With you sitting next to me
...

We stare intently
As the castle crumbles to the ground
We've gone through the setbacks
We've gone through the triumphs
...

Outside the gates
We'll shake the hands
We'll receive the hugs
We'll count our blessings
...

On this night
I'm sitting on a rock
Wondering where my life will turn to next
My inner soul is bathing in the moonlight
...

And so we've reached the end
And we've begun the final march
We'll savor the final walk
We'll embrace the night
...

The sound of the shoes on my feet echoes through the hall I'm walking in
The hall leads me into the rose garden
And this particular rose garden reminds me of a familiar face
...

Looking out my window
At the nightly starry sky
At this moment I'm thinking of you
I'm sure you're thinking of me too
...
