 Youngblood

 

Fresh youngblood

Blue eyes blazing

Taking on the trouble,

Is there nothing you can’t do?

 

Risk-taker

Heart-breaker

Only 17 but a scrapper

Through and through.

 

Sixty some years later

All the roads you’ve taken,

Leading to the one love

Who took your heart away.

 

Blue eyes now are misting

Paled from all the living

Wisdom of the ages

Brings a flower for her grave.

Very touching. It is usually the other way around. Women tend to be more loyal to their husbands and live longer.

I recall listening to The Youngbloods in People's Park, San Jose in 1969. "Come on people now, smile on your brother, try to love one another, right now!"

Ditto what Odin said. A truly remarkable poem in its brevity and sweep. The last line is the key to the door.

How concise this poem is, allowing the timeline of life to cross our minds and hearts. You are truly a champion of brevity in arresting any reader's complacency of the moment and raising emotions to an attentive appreciation. Bravo!
