Until It All Goes Away

Youth can be fickle to fritter away

All that infinite energy

Wasted on play.

Trashed and tired at the end of the day

To sleep without worries or cares.

 

Pity that time comes to shatter fond dreams,

To realize life’s

Not at all as it seems,

Filled with toil, stress and struggles

To disconnect schemes with

Recurrence that hardly seems fair.

 

Now, as I grow older, I seldom regret

All the blather and bother,

The fuss and the fret that

Once gave me to fury

When viewed as a threat and

Suffered this fool at his play.

I breathe a deep sigh,

Meet the foe eye to eye,

Find the calm and compassion that’s

Always nearby.

Let the madness dissolve

To a crystalline sky.

Mulling softly

Til it all goes away.
