Life Comes and Goes

Down the street as I was drifting with the city's human tide It occurred that perhaps a million were in this streaming flow And I..I knew not one and cared not that I was here alone For there were things to do and puzzles to solve before I died Oh, that was long before I loved and then in this city cried For she was perfect but she was gone and I..I know not why She had blue eyes and golden hair and then she had chosen me To walk these streets among the million and I swelled up with pride This city by the bay glistened when she walked here by my side Fog horns moaned as the mist rolled in and covered all in slate grey While we laughed and we flirted until we didn't anymore Then, oh, this city has haunted me as I had time to bide The years flew by and now I am an old man and rheumy eyed And I cherish the time that I could make a blue eyed blonde glow Memories of that heady time have faded and the tears dried 3-10-20 Contest: Lines To Awaken Your Muse 2 Sponsor: Joseph May Line Chosen:Down the street as I was drifting with the city's human tide Rhyme Scheme:abca,adea,afga,aba
