Done
When youth was ripe and strong
And accomplishment was infantile
Future was but an un-walked pathway
Stretching the distance to today.
Events and persons still unknown
Would fill history yet to be made
Written in tears of joy and tragedy
Propelled by footsteps seeking the undiscovered.
Steep slopes of the unattained
Warm valleys of the accomplished
Appeared on the pages of Life
As Youth was absorbed by maturity.
Fine-tuning of accumulated lessons
Tempered and became wisdom
Prejudices revealed their baselessness
The realization of wasted time displayed its' folly.
Sunset is neigh
Legacies become epitaphs
Needs become non-existent.
Age introduces … eternity.
