my age issue

[zell19861986]

i am old
but not old enough
im old enough to know wrong from right
but not on how to really handle things
im old enough to care
but not to care for my fellow man
im old enough to love
but not for the right reasons

hello every one i am finally back. got the net again yesterday

Hi Zell and welcome back. I hope everything is going well for you.

Lots of new faces now--and some of us oldies still around, too. There are some contests and challenges going on, and we now have a subforum for critique.

Hello and Welcome Back

Aged with ear to the rail
Old enough to build new windows
Young enough to see thru to the
2 way tracks and to choose the direction
Aged with tools and sleeping with rooftops above
And floors and feet underneath me
Music and dance of the ancients
All around me,

Years, hours, minutes
Piled up behind me
Miles and miles spread out
In front.
Time is on my side.

Widsdom is a handbag
Slowly it fills, travels and rests,
In a corner of my room.
Or in the forward ride the

Engine idles, goes in reverse
To back up enough slowly just far enough
To zoom forward.

thank you eagle for the counter. i very good poem. just hope my poem was worth the counter

 

[eagleyez]

Of course it was.
You are welcome, you got me thinking about time.

Memories, dreams, conversations with myself and other ones,
All piled up,
I live for the moment, at least that is my goal.
As I said, with my ear to the rail.
Time on my side, Im one old timer,
I feel forever young.

good to see you!

 

[zell19861986]

thank you. i've been thinking about time lately because i'm old enough in the laws eyes but yet i'm still actually not that old at all. that and boredom
