Years Poem by Robert Gilchrist

Years

Rating: 5.0


years
the march gets louder
the memories shout too
my soul is stalled
at the apex of my youth
my bones outwalk me
I drink the nectar
from a new cup
aloof
from the stares of disdain

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Aging is not pretty but every now and then something comes along that takes a few years off I am an old man and often something happens that writes off a few years of my life. It's naughty nature who plays such games with us. One thing I must confess I like nature teasing me in this way. You have nicely revealed a secret of aging. Lovely poem!
