Pulling Away

At eighteen, I was ninety percent body and ten percent mind …but over the years that trend has reversed Now, I’m ten percent body and ninety percent mind …whose biology Father Time chose to curse My mind is now winged like a high soaring hawk …with youth the small price for what’s known All limits have lifted old burdens have gone …as my spirit pulls hard to let go (Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2018)

Kurt.. youth is wasted on the youth ;). But if I had to choose the mind beats the body every time.. but I'm sure a young person may disagree!
