Sentiments

by George Hoerner

i pour a glass
of sentiments
and slowly
allow them
to roll
down my throat

suddenly the past
comes alive
in the hive
of my head
buzzing
with past events

conversations
never held
loves never loved
the lost dreams
that fantasy finds
in those moments
only lived
in some imaginary
landscape
drawn using pens
filled with invisible ink

showing tales
of slain dragons
pledges sworn
conquests made
in another place
another time
never known

This made me sit down too and reflect on moments past as well as upon futures to come. Thank you. Peter

I must say this one goes well with an Indian Pale Ale. Fantastic imagery on this fantasy trip down alcohol's highway!
