How I long for the spontaneity of youth Driven by fervid emotion That carefree blindness to all that fears me now A life void of devotion
No one is there any longer to catch me if I fall There is too much to chance Is the risk worth the loss? Mine alone to bear Or do I take a different stance?
Oh, to reverse the aging process That takes away looks as well as confidence Always second guessing Doubting intelligence and questioning one’s prominence
Thank you for this poem. I felt sad reading it, though I know this youth is something available for us to access when we are present and connected to this moment. Then, the heaviness, the burden, and all the fears dissolve.

Thank you so much. Yes, you are right, when we stay in the moment we become more vital. It is sometimes hard to achieve that though. Best wishes to you ☺️
