Ryan Island
an old man alone
on an island in a lake
on an island in a lake
fishing for his soul
a candelabrum illuminates in shadows
so many answers, so few questions
he sees his youth reflected in the water
will he ask, will he remember
who he is
on an island in a lake
on an island in a lake
fishing for his soul
a candelabrum illuminates in shadows
so many answers, so few questions
he sees his youth reflected in the water
will he ask, will he remember
who he is

Thank you. I'm wondering where all the time went, wishing I'd asked all the right questions the first time around.

I too waited until later in life to begin questioning. And I think you will discover it is not to late. Although we just have to run a little faster than some to finish, if at all.
A nice introspective write.

thanks for the visit and the comment... thankfully, life seems to be full of second chances!
