A pen gives its life
Liquid to ink his life- a
Veritable tool of man.
Many fathomed seas;
Many more treaded roads, but
How many 'lived' lives?
Birthday- reminder
Of passing time. But it's new
Leaf; meet sun and soak!
Growing up - a trap!
The young want to fall in: the
Old cannot fall out!
You age, age and age
And wither away. Till last,
Let the child remain!
We age; carefree are
We no longer. Yellow leaves
cannot sway freely.
