When Young

When young,
 
Intoxicated my soul seemed to be
  
As she was drinking constantly from youth's 

Fine wine

But 

Now that I old came to be

My sobered soul is wiser, thus yearning, only

To delight herself, with what is: just, holy, and 

Divine!

Sotto Poet Date: 6/2/2021 7:49:00 AM Wonderfully written, my friend, the older one grows, the more gems of insight and souvenirs they gather. And Ignore the pleasures of youth in favor of a respectful leaning toward the sublime. Login to Reply Demetrios Trifiatis Date: 6/2/2021 10:52:00 AM Yes, the majority of people, as they grow older, are more prudent. However, there are those who linger behind realizing not that the time has passed. Thank you so much for your lovely visit and comment! Blessings.

Vijay Pandit Date: 6/2/2021 4:40:00 AM As we age we leave behind the youthful pleasures--tilting towards the divine. Love the vibrant yellow flowers!

Thank you for your lovely visit and comment. Blessings.

Tom Cunningham Date: 6/2/2021 4:11:00 AM So true Demetrios, with advancing years comes pearls of wisdom and materialistic things fade away.
