" MY SOUL " MY PHOTO, ©

May be an image of flower and nature

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! © Demetrios Trifiatis 02 June 2021

WoW! Demetrios, Your verse is filled with much wisdom. As one gets older and wiser, they see things different. Excellent job my friend:-) Alexis

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.

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.

As we age we leave behind the youthful pleasures--tilting towards the divine. Love the vibrant yellow flowers!

Yes, that is the right thing to do, my dearest friend, Vijay. Apparently, though, not all are willing to do so! Thank you for your lovely visit and comment. Blessings.

So true Demetrios, with advancing years comes pearls of wisdom and materialistic things fade away. Tom

This is generally true, my dearest friend, Tom, unfortunately, not all of us are getting wiser. Thank you very much for your kind visit and comment! Blessings.
