[hometext] => An old man's reflection upon his past.
[bodytext] => The man ripe with age Lies in a deep sleep The same daily routine A world of his own A world he now knows The air around him Fades as the light dims Memories and dreams Together abound His breathing soft Muted now sound Off to the sides His arms outstretch The images solid Bump and twirl Merely by touch But still drift on Ever more lovely Ever more quaint One hand reaches out And grips one, a ball Light shines faint But beams through gaps Found scarce in his digits And he slides it through The rain comes soon The rain always comes But tonight will be last For tonight there was A lack of clouds And tonight went on The orbs still flow Dreams carry over new To the ones who need Peaceful guides And still the rain came Without the clouds Without the sound The same ever known Without pit or pat And the man's head Reclines behind slow To the side his arms go And he sleeps once more On the familiar night One without the clouds The rain falls slow And dreams leave and go And the rain falls slow...
