Youth's Generations

At base
who does not regret
Aging's Toll?
Un appreciated youth
trolls:
Grief's
Requited
Grievances;
Time Portals
Closing
and some
quick-seek
regress
seeking
to recapture
deny
Times Passage
resenting
yes, resenting
Youth's Promise
squandered;
Youth missed
in our
rear
view mirrors.

Is Youth alone
in our regrets
our Lacking Missings

which youth
seems
so unaware of
having its own
bearings on its own future
as we
sit marooned
some of us
between the lacking
and the passing.

Note:

Focus thy heart
now
in sight of death
upon
not Times Passing
but upon Ripen Fruits
offering
Wisdom's
Salvation;
understanding
Youth Never Understands
Old Wisdom
that is what makes them youth
but in time
our whisperings
reach base
and in the end
carry
youth ownward
in that combined
place
we refer
to as
generations
or suprising us
they invent
their own
future.

Deep poetry Lonnie, from the soul. That line esp. "Youth missed in our rear view mirrors" what an amazing line in an amazing poem.

Much wisdom expressed in a very unique way. I have no regrets of my youth, for I squandered none of it in wasted pursuits.
