Life's Fail.
What would you know of..........
The myriad of colours in the skies caused by the Northern lights,
Or that symbolic twinkling southern cross?
Sand that bites on the wind !
Air so clear you can see for miles,
Glistening crystals on firmly packed snow.
Places where you'll never hear a car or a plane, ever.
To have experienced what it's like to have flown like a bird on high.
The adrenalin rush that the fear of dying brings.
The common bond a breed of men can share.
To stand on a piece of this planet, where no ones stood before,
and probably nobody else ever will.
All these things I done and more!
But I'll never have the chance to share, a repeat of any of them with you.
To teach you of the wonders of life!
Beyond the drugs and the alcohol.
I'm too old now, to start again............
