Prelude

So many preludes, yet so little time unanswered questions, tall mountains to climb. Basking in wisdom, oft arrogance shown; given scruples, we precariously own. Life but the prelude to beautiful songs finding its way amidst nature's vast throngs. Old oaks and blossoms sprung from single seeds preludes: seedlings of life's impatient needs. Chapter upon chapter our lives peruse good and evil choosing which to infuse. As life ages, we wish for more preludes to sunlit days, gentle dusk interludes.

Six wonderful couplets, Ann. I do love the first one, sort of smacked me in the face, and opened my eyes to an awesome poem.
