Philosophy of and old man |
How many days? How many days, Till the sun stops shining? How long for the well runs dry? So manydays I asked these questions Answers come only at night. In Morning light Able to remember Only unanswered questions. Seeking “THE” answer Asking such a question Is not a goal of worth. What did I learn While passing this way? Did I spend adequate time Enjoying a laugh Seeing Impossible questions Are ones with no answers. Did I savor Each moment to my best. Limits of days remain for all. How many days Till the sun stops shining? How long for the well runs dry? Life is too short To Waste even a moment Smell 100 year old lilacs Stiletto heels chat Staccato notes of a song Not really remembered A flash of Red Lipstick reveals that she Is smiling right at me My coffee is good Much better than things I just can't seem to remember. Is that more important Than the grin of small boys Bouncing a basket ball? Or a small girl determined To ride her bike unaided Without training wheels. Perhaps my friend We all have the need To make our own Decisions, Can we live with the results? How many days for the sun stops shining? How long fore the well runs dry? |
