Seen The Light Poem by Frederick Nellist

Fading hopes and asperations
still dwell in my minds eye
Deeds my conscience may reject
nostalgia dares me to try.

To rediscover my dubious past
once again sing Satan's song
Would greatly upset father time
who taught me right from wrong.

Correct thinking not in my focus
old drive no longer intense
I don't think I'd stand the pace
Besides it makes no sense.

Mischievous voices of long ago
play games inside my head
Interfering with my comfort zone
I would rather sleep instead.
