Talking To Yourself

Youth Strong, agile, energetic Resilient and passionately hardworking. Preparing a place worthwhile To grasp and grab The best of life's offers. Mounting pressure to pursue Hands on plough No looking back. For the crown Bearing the cross Cruising with the youth Roads, crooked and straight. Fate, blurring and unknown Before the night Making a worthy noon. Elder The night is here Bodily bent, old constant tremble Senility creeping in Weak bones within wrinkled flesh. The wisdom tooth, a pride Each night, a grey hair. Children and memories Moonlight and tales Waiting... Reveries of young Legacies set and shared Waiting for the angel of death. Dead Accomplished end Expected beginning. Adieu, good night It is all morning here. Alone to claim The record beyond Good or bad. At the left then Eden Watching posterity From a blessed bossom.
