Thirty Candles
Youth is raw and naked
Bare white teeth gnarling
Into the flesh through the bones of life
Laughing the mocking laughter of the undefeated
Knowing all
Proud is a peacock in full color
Hard, strong, tall and beautiful
Youth is stubborn
Youth is glory
Youth is fleeting
Thirty candles on a birthday cake
Welcome to life and living
Welcome first grey hair
