68 and a Day

68 and a day?                                      2007
Youth and health sneak away 
Exercise to hold at bay
 7 mile in 20 minutes                                                   
 A hot, light day                                                      
  a Bright sun 
 White broiling clouds
 Paint the sky 
 and wonder appears again,
 or joy?
 the mind clicks and runs 
 Hardly holding on 
 Wonders to explore 
 so much more 
 Tears wait, feelings to ignore 
 No!                
 explore the wonder of it all 
 the big bang happened where? 
 in what,?
 Its now, is all we’ve got 
 are we here?
 just energy compact
 or free 
 moving thru the universe 
 could be worse 
 in here, ever in the moil 
 of random chaos 
 or balanced  containment 
 its going where ? 
 where is there ?
 I’ll never arrive 
 I,m always here 
Food in, cells out,
 Change,
 a temporary measure 
  as are all the rules
 O god ! we shout 
 He made us all
 We wish !
  for safety 
 and a higher power.
 There’s nowt!                               nothing
 But the wonder of it all
