HINTS OF SPLENDOR

I held greatness so long ago.
Then greatness escaped me.
Was I sixteen or 32?
Or was I just holding you?

You were such a sudden beautiful,
And I just a lonely fool.
Thinking of ownership,
Singing with the band on a sinking ship.

You gave me a hint of splendor.
As pretty as a song
Sung by Angels
At a funeral.
