Potlatch Challenge-Momento Poem
Through the Golden Gate by michaelcahill
COMMEMORATING THE DAY OF MY BIRTH



Through the Golden gate
 
San Francisco Bay at midnight--
one truly golden eve,
all see
the moment, I take perfect flight.
Hope soars, and all believe
in me.
 
One's day of birth is filled with hope--
horizon's reached won't do,
or end.
Now, I still claim the same bold scope,
my age-- just something to
transcend.

Author Notes


It just so happens I was born on a Naval Base in San Francisco bay at around midnight. Why? For the Potlatch topic, of course!!!

Another GREAT topic. Thanks, Yvonne. :))

TOPIC: Your own birthday
