Question:The Smell Of Cigar

Where has life taken you,
And was it quite far?
Were you able to grasp
Your unreachable star?

What were your passions, your yearnings;
Did you quench your youthful burnings,
Drink deeply of life;
Perhaps light a cigar?

Now forever captured
In some old adventurer’s story,
That no longer stirs the soul;
No star beckoning to lofty goals,

I am reduced to simple musings,
As you are held timeless in a jar,
Of stale memories and mementos,
And the faint smell of cigars.
