Reflection

"We are, you and I. Yet are too young still to trouble our hearts with love and death; too young to trouble our minds with questions that have plagued humanity from its very beginning; too young to pluck the heartstrings of that vast sea of emotion; too old to live life for itself." Let us see together That great sunset of mankind The beauty of the fading light The beauty in the mind Let us keep the sun still close Nature in its kind That we may better know night when No stars are illumined And see before us, fading still Horizons circled 'round, oh Will you only see the night for what it is Or forever see the pain inside a kiss?
