Am I too old?
Is it too late?
Have I waited too long,
To contemplate my fate?
Have I too many memories...
And not enough time?
Is there too much of 'me'
Behind the walls of limitation,
I find myself confined.
Is there too much I am trying to comprehend?
Instead of realizing,
I am doing just fine within!
And would do even better...
Discovering new adventures.
Who am I to censor,
The arrival of gloomy weather?
If I decided to leave old thoughts...
I choose to think,
Left behind!
And besides...
I do get a kick sometimes,
Unwinding myself
From the trappings I place,
Inside my own mind!

Lawrence S. Pertillar
