~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

he thinks in platitudes

dreaming of things he wish were done

 

skipping free and young

now struggles to stay alive

 

he looks behind him

imagines he’s seeing ahead

 

getting older is hackneyed

when unearthing keeps one going

Did a lot of skipping free and young
Have a few wishes
Of things yet to do
Still can
I hope

Ahhh . . . This is just great, Jude. Such a cross way of looking at things. I saw myself within these lines during those lost decades. Yep. Sure do.

Rewinding and looking back is one of life's great hobbies. Everyone does this. Thank God, for our memories!!! Otherwise, we will all be zombies!!!

Great poem, Jude!

We all need a bucket list, keeps you going, looking back has never really helped me, keep it going forward for the better or let it go .

Hey Jude
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to rewind life's good times. Wishing and hoping for the past to return wastes precious time. We all need to live in the present moment. That is the way to keep one balanced and happy!
Much peace light and love

Is it struggle that gives us reason to live?
Forever seeking and finding the new keeps us going, is so very true.

Yes, it's the "down to earth things" that become more important as we age. Cool insight.

Staying at least near the flame of youth, I would agree, is preferable to mummifying and becoming mired in the spongy mud of old and stale. Even looking behind for inspiration is preferable to having no thoughts at all. Brains need excercise so we walk them to places we've never seen or thought of. I like the points made here Jude. Time is coming for us and there is much to be said. Bob

Wonderful. I love the last line. I think most creative people have Peter Pan Syndrome where our creativity keeps us forever young.
