2009 A Number of Years
A Number of Years
November 21, 2009
Age is But a Number
Those words are often spoken by
People in their second decade
Young people with more future
Than history
Who know mostly
Joy and exuberance
Today I read my
Long history of free verse
From the exuberance of
Young infatuation,
Thru the sweet sorrow of
Parting lovers
And then the Loss
A loss that approaches
Its first decade
But I still cry when
Returning to that time
I have More History
Than Future
And that history is
Measured by a balance
of Joy and Pain
That I hold in the
Ever accelerating present
