“ The Boy ” ~ who wanted to stay ~

There was a boy

Said ever glad,

For animate joy

Save he felt sad,

Its adolesce span

Exacts but a fad,

Be that so it may

Fix boy to be man,

He’d bid afar day

From stripling state,

That inevitable way

To descry adulthood,

Toward destined fate

Binds resolute say,

Held misnomer depth

Of ending youth’s stay,

He’d pursue cheat its death!

 

“ Searching ” ~ for the real you ~

You’ve lived so far

Being who you are,

Enjoyed the road

That life bestowed,

So why pursue

A search in vain,

That may not reach

To cause explain,

Holds you’ll discover

Where bides the other,

More real than be you!
