Castles of Rhyme

The desire to succeed, being in champions' breed
The celebrations over a score and the relief even more
Meeting people who are now friends, and those people I repent
People who changed my life, and those who started a strife
Working all in extremes, making the best of all means
Hanging around with friends, procrastination till the end
Successive events scaled or failed, rough seas heartily sailed
Those orders and powers employed, some aspirations destroyed
Vagabonds merely for fun, some works of noble note done
Numerous was the herd of such, but we did make so much
Trotting through these frames of mind, these sands of time
The departing fleet of memories pined through castles of rhyme.
