Harken: The New Eras
They may end, they will come again.
Remarkable as they are
Eras come, and eras go
In times of such turbulence, so plentiful
Would there be an era so wonderful
Or more of them just to and fro
Beginnings herald eras
As do their ends
Embrace each as a sign of something new
For nothing comes anew
Not until something screeches to a halt
Yet some go out like lions
Ever so slowly as they cling on to life
Once is left with a single certainty
Where one ends
A new one, by destiny, begins
Enjoy them each
If you muster up such strength
For they may beat you down to the ground
As not all deserve to be celebrated
As not all deserve to last
Remember the ages as you tell your stories
Ages of struggle won by the valiant
Ages of sorrow from which the sun rose again
Ages of wonder, where all that was began to change
Ages of understanding, seeing the growth of all man
Remember those more personal
The age of enlightenment
Where your young mind came to understand the world
Ages of love
Where someone touched your soul
For your era will
Fight it as you may
Come to an ending
But had you lived it well
Another will follow
Eras bring hope
Until the hero of one story falls
Yet they are not the final hope
No, no, there is another
Thus, new eras

From fiction to reality there’s tons to share about this crazy life. From being a single father, an officer, and having had many insane adventures while I learned about the world, my imagination runs wild with ideas.
