The Fold

say what you will
in the guarding of ages
protecting the old
from the new of the young
they never stand still
these modern day sages
proclaiming the bold
with the measure of none

these garden gates
swing wide the hinges
to free the young
from the rust of the old
time will not wait
for this day to begin with
an invitation to come
join in the fold
