Our Youth

OUR YOUTH Our youth: A dazzling cloud filled with myriads droplets of Glittering dreams Proudly hovering in the morning sky of our Life Mercilessly chased by the ravenous rays of age’s Sun Till all is devoured by voracious Time! © Demetrios Trifiatis 29 JUNE 2013

As the old saying goes...'Youth is wasted on the young' and we all realize it only when we grow old...Absolutely lovely piece of work here, Demetrios and you drive the point home with true elegance - Tim

Time is merciless my friend, it is a killing force as it goes on by, but we can mold it to be as good as it could be for ourselves....we can utilize it for our benefits! I really loved reading this enlightening poem this morning! You have written a tremendous piece here Demetrios! What a wonderful poem, Great Work!!

Yes, Russell, we can mold time as you say but not our youth! Thank you my friend for your visit and your kind comment!
