ULYSSES: every man's mid-life crisis


Ulysses

 

[ A soliloquy ]

 

What do I do now.Where do I go from here. The battles are won I’ve followed the sun These many  years And more.I’ve seen and done It all. But  Where am I now. I’ve barely begun. What is this affliction that fills me with sorrow. My searching is finally at an end.  I’m home again.  Yet  Each day is another tomorrow.I fear The Gates of Hell soon will open for me
. I wonder,

i hear
                                      
I see 

There are other places

to discover

Beyond t he shores of Sicily
