“ All Roads ” ~ lead to roam ~

 

A world I roamed

I hadn’t known,

Shaped memories

Of places dear,

Like ancient Rome

And mysteries

Of Tangier,

That reached beyond

A musing’s home,

Dreamed petit môme…

 

Now should I aim

Trip far from near

Caducity I fear,

Errs view erase

As if time passed

Best blur its face,

Save then again

I should be lured

By nomad tastes,

To roads unknown

That lead to roam!

    • Yes… the play on words, humour by half, and as another comment suggests, forget the moaning and get to Rome. Ah la bella Roma, unsurpassable beauty by any standards. But like in all humour there is sadness too, as so in this poem that lets no one off the hook, in that little reminder that suggest caducity dealing out time which favours architecture and history, but not so generous on humans. Sweet dreams however to which we can travel without restriction. Thanks for your comment, which tells me All Roads did speak to you. Jean-Jacques Fournier
