Notes About The Poem

August Sun

it was late august afternoon
gleefully the sun glistened
the birds performing all in tune
i stopped and restfully listened
cast my troubles far behind
vacating turmoil brood internal
it was my current state of mind
believing youth to be eternal



AP: Honorable Mention 2020

I always thought youth was eternal until last May. Now I kind of know better, but I am still bucking it.

You are the philosopher-princess lately.... I was wondering about that 'August' in the title. Cheers, Gershon

Youth is not eternal )) I remember being 7~ saying "I will never grow old."In a greater sense, I never have.! Meaning I have maintained my intellectual freedom and life choices. The body is another matter. Like flowers, we bloom, wither and one day,disappear to another form. Any way..your poem is well written and provokes thought. Panagiota xx

Thanks, Panagiota. As you have figured out, it's how we feel that counts. Thanks for your lovely visit and comment.

hope and the desire to by young again, both spring eternal for ME. I remember August days sun worshiping. I don't do it any more. Miss those days though. Great reflective poem, Line.
