From an early age
You learn to move,
And thus engage
Though behooves,
A youthful apathy
Of apposite adage,
Save such be stage
Of likely oblivion,
Finds cause negate
Unripe constraints,
Who’s yet to image
Life’s peregrinate,
To eventual restraint!
© Jean-Jacques Fournier
We search for ways
Tho seem in vain,
Yet we’ll holdfast
To end man’s bane,
Would so engage,
Hence find disarm
A darkening rage
In a world insane,
The while ignored
Efforts that contain,
Threats to survival…
Alas beg commit,
Said altruist hand
Be of requisite fit,
Held tenacious bold
Cast in the soul,
Of a credible man!
So many memories
Worth the keep,
Tho there be many
Begs a clean sweep,
For those held evoke
Leads one to wallow,
In recollects thin
Bordering hollow,
Or colours memory
Of near wilting age,
Yet wants a fellow
Bides to engage,
In worthy recalls
Before time shades,
What gave life a stage!
ode to year 2013
As I grow young
The while I age,
My body older
Does engage,
The time it takes
To be the sum
I mean achieve
Unloading vain,
As clearer sense
I attain,
Tho fractioned be
To some extent
It does explain,
Old borders suffer
One’s being bolder,
Than growing old
The while young!
