Seasons Of Life

I knew you in the springtime,
when shoots were green
and blossoms a-bloom!  Mornings
Rosy pink and Fresh! No tint of gloom.
Our summers hot, fiery--sultry!
Unlike the autumn, spotted, with
scent of the tomb – now winter,
nearer the final page – stupid youth
my preference not wise old sage!

WOW, a delightful journey through the metaphorical seasons of one's life. The contrast between youthful enthusiasm and mature reflection is well expressed. It's like walking through the changing landscapes of life itself!

Hi Sotto; a playful look back in my mind. I think, for most of my peers, would be foolish not to say certain aspects of youth are not sorely missed~ like Youth! Thank you, my friend. Have a great writing day! Blessings.

stupid youth my preference not wise old sage…a bit of humor amidst the angst… they say youths waste it…the time of old age comes to those who make it through…
