Dream of Life



Dream of Life
(c) 2017 - D. J. Winfield

With hungry eyes afire
The Dream swells in his heart
The young man grows impatient
To quickly take his part

Strong and quick at twenty-one
His life has yet no past
He teases each moment and pushes
As though it were the last

Seasons flow together
The Dream will have to wait
At forty he knows reality
Wipes his brow and lengthens his gait

Where did they go so quickly?
Those ideals so real and alive
They're missing now, but not the pain
For the man at sixty-five

Sunset's fingers touch a weathered face
No friends to ring the phone
The Dream alive for ninety years
Now dies with him, alone

Something NEW! Podcasts....

Hi there!
     To my followers, accidental viewers, and even my few "Somewhat North of Disorder" blog friends, some nearly inconsequential news. Not to me, however. To me, it's very consequential.
      As of today, I'm introducing a new facet to my career as an internet radio entertainer, Trop Rock music aficionado, and freestyle blogger.
     Starting today, I'll be publishing podcasts of what I contend are interesting and/or entertaining musical programs. Some will be the regular weekly radio broadcasts I do for www.ShoreLifeRadio.com. Mostly, however, they'll be specially packaged shows to honor and celebrate specific musicians.
     To kick it all off, I'm introducing an artist with musical creds stretching back a few decades but who's new to the Trop genre.
     Go to the link below, and get to know Dayglo Red, and his new concept, "American Reggae". You'll hear all the tracks from his new "American Reggae" CD, introduced by the artist himself. You'll love Dayglo Red and his stories.
Enjoy!
