Youth and Frailty

The young know not their limit, for it soars above the reach of their hands. 

Upwards and upwards on gusts of wind 

Rising above the Atlas Mountains, dancing on the swollen snow covered peaks. 

Further it goes until the very stars become its brethren 

Resting forever in that cosmic soup 

From below the old observe 

Quietly watching their children play
