Forgotten Memories

( Mason's odyssey )

A fearless lad in a Navy Blue Pea coat

sailed away on the glimmering seas;

just he and his sextant in his oaken boat

o'er that ocean he sailed...

...into a whirlpool of Forgotten Memories

and awakened dreams of impossible schemes

He sailed, undaunted, by his mother's fears

or her pleadings, her doubts, or womanly tears

...He sailed to a horizon of haunting somewheres

of thrilling dreams and boyhood cares;

a Mariner, alone, on the oceans he crossed

by the stars he'd wander and never be lost

...alone, on a wondrous, mysterious voyage

into a shimmering, gleaming mirage

strong tailwinds propelling his strange odyssey

following an azimuth of twinkling geodesy

His Mother, in the Lighthouse, steadfastly stood

as she scanned the horizon for that schooner of wood;

on the deck of that lighthouse today she still stands

as she longs for his footprints, again, on the sands;

the “Beacon Lady”, folks named her, in their History

...a legend of lore, aged, now demure, a mystery...

...but her Son returned not, this Lad of the seas,

lost on the oceans of Forgotten Memories

~~~~~

Don't cry.

This is the story of an aged Mom

remembering her 'Young Mom' days

longing, once again, for the little boy she knew,

now lost to manhood in the labyrinth of time,

that labyrinth being as a vast ocean

that, once navigated, can never again be crossed.

The "little boy" who fancied himself as a sailor

in his snugly fitted pea coat and grandpa's sextant,

imagining intrepid adventures in fitful dreams and daydreams

who grew up in time, to become a real sailor.

But now, the "little boy" is

lost forever in the past. - RayAthens
