many are regrets of youth
live each day and cherish it

These last two were the result of a recent boat trip.
To say that it gave me time to think, would be an understatement.Thanks for the feedback.
Thanks Xena, I'll check that link. -

Hard Facts
What can I do, when facing the facts?
Enduring the evidence, so hard to bear?
Seeing the truth, revealed for its worth,
Can I just shut my eyes from it's sickening glare?When my world's upside-down, the facts seem so wrong,
My previous perception akilter;
Should I fall asleep, fall into deep slumber,
Believe all that's gone with a huge rosey filter?A lifetime of work, of honour, achievement
Falling to dust before my very eyes.
All I held dear, an empty deception,
Smelling of shite and covered in flies.The answer is there, but how to attain it,
Hurting with pain, that never recedes.
Injured at depths beyond comprehension,
Wiping the tears, grief's anger does feed.How do I receive this chilling rejection,
Doing what's right, my conscience appease?
Patience abounds on the right side of passage
But patience is scarce in tumultuous seas.LT

Uncertain Seas
As this boat carries me from that old, distant shore
And mist starts to wreath the horizon.
I think to the past, all the things I have done,
And grieve for the soul's of those left.A fishing boat passes, adrift to the port,
On the starboard the Southern Isles beckon.
It all seems so faint, yet my heart has a pang,
For a history's passing, so pleasant.The boat starts to roll, the gentlest motion,
And all is at peace in the world
A seagull calls and examines the wake,
The waves hypnotize me to awe.From this morose state a waking thought beckons
Why should I rebel from it's teasing caress?
"The sky is so blue, with cotton clouds passing;
Return to the shore, undo all that's done!"The seventh wave strikes, a trough quickly follows,
Breaks into the reverie, opens the trance.
A glimpse of the future, unbidden, uncertain,
An open expanse, like the sea, lies ahead.So should I pay heed to disquieting thoughts;
Hark'n back to the land, with blissful dreams;
Or strike to the unknown, hidden yet wary,
Asking for nothing but a glimpse of truth.LT

Many of my favourites have already been mentioned.
I'd like to add anything with Frank Sinatra in it, for the sap in me.Finally - "Rebel without a cause".
Now THAT was a classic! -
