Observations….!
I see those things that others do
And wonder why they have taken
So long
To have those experiences and considerations
That to me seem so old and far behind
Catch-up is such a hard game to play
For the winner is always ahead in that
Lonely place of knowledge where none
Are able to see the distance that has been travelled
I feel old before my time but also I feel more alive
Than those I see about me for they seem to have
Died a death from within
Something has been lost in their attention to whatever
It was that did not allow them to live
That did not allow them to experience when the mind
And body were young those things that do invigorate
And keep one alive in every aspect of the word
Not many feel the hunger for life so many seem full
And have lost the appetite for those things that are
Enjoyable and the mind has a yearning for
