Musings Under The Oaks : An Earthly Being In Awe

The more I forget

the greater the pleasure

in what I remember.

The more corruption I see

the more I enjoy

the innocent play of children.

As my body yields to age

the greater my delight

in youth whizzing by.

And day by day

I become evermore in awe

that there is anything at all,

much less this.
