Fifty suns and fifty moons
on my birthday stealthily passed
fifty clouds and thunder more
fifty lightning and my tears
peals of laughter and my youth
nature brimming myriad hues
melody echoed spring and streams
I then dashed and danced a splash
beyond the greens and beyond the means
sculpture of passion I was then
words rushed and beauty danced
breeding desire rocking more
tides of suffering made me weak
avoiding questions, evading answers
unable to wipe tears, deep in my fears
living like an innocent idiot, loving like an enlightened fool
with silenced song in hushed tones
vanished syllables here I seek
sonorously good...i will go farther than hills and farther than great seas to beg the lord 'give me the soul, i had of old'....syllables ride on the wings of time....weary hours chain us..keep on writing.all the best
In fifty you had the same breath but it made many up and down strokes many times you felt it difficult breath but you still may it rise for another 50

Really we blessed with love, true love is a blessing, tides of suffering made me weak avoiding questions, evading answers unable to wipe tears, deep in my fears living like an innocent idiot, loving like an enlightened fool with silenced song in hushed tones vanished syllables here I seek
Love those last lines, particularly the very last. A true poetic heart beats here, for sure. ;)
Sonorous, well penned poem.Wisdom and intellect played a beautiful role here.Kudos!
With the passing of the years, we gain in wisdom - the innocent idiot and the enlightened fool pale away. Well penned.
On every birthday, even I am reminded of the years that have gone by, the time and emtions wasted, the happy days etc. Beautiful poem.

This is even a more poignant 'Lament'! Heart rending and powerful! But still all is not lost! Only thing, old blisses will be replaced by new ones!
