.:TIME TAKEN:.
Age has comforted me. Done so in such an unassuming way
The passing seasons have left me as an unlettered soul
Youth only beguiles my sub-conscious. That part which sits at the border of wakefulness
I quake with this. Yet it does not begin to reach what I have deeply buried
Concealed upon the ornate reams of unspent dreams
Youth once again, thinking of its self as modern. It has made classic the utterances of so much hyperbole
And the weight of it has taken away time; stolen it, tucked it away
Has trapped youth’s measure & content as it always does…as it always will
Tattered, at times shattered; yet its life remains overt and tremendous in its meaning
What’s recognizable, then made secret is the cringed thought; but no matter
Life has been freely given. Believe me.
The expense redeems and balances us in so many ways
Ways in which we will never understand. No matter how young we get

A fine piece of writing compled with a sound philosophy I find the last line a perfect ending'the border of wakefulness' 'trapped youth's measure and content'and many other clear simple statements.
