let them ring!

it will happen(you will grow old..

and as you enter your Dream Carriage
you need decide How To Ride-
will you Work @it?-persisting in pushing
Tantalus rocks uphill?or roll with the waves
into Oceans of Silence?Meditate on Change
Watch as the Young Grow So Distant
(you were young once-but that was different)
Elders above you with Wisdom and Violence
now you must choose between Speaking and Silence
Friends around you pop out of their skin
@alarming  rates-they leave with no explanation
Selection is Natural at all ends and beginnings
editing life experiences your Reader's Digest.
Is your Universe Anonymous?Is this Personal /Experience?
Are you Linked via Love or Art or Life itself?
Will Time tune frequencies into harmonies of heavens
or beat and batter your Tsunami defences?
Are you separate/apart?or United/Whole?
Ready to Release or Control?
Each Intersection of Thoughts and Emotions
challenges Rebellion /Reaction of Devotion
You are always @a Crossroads every Midnight
and you must ask-is it my task
to understand or overcompensate ?
Will the passge of time reveal all?-
or are words wasted upon the young who ignore them
and the old who ,simply,in time,
fall?

so-
will you be
bird in tree?
tree root deep?
or wings in flight-
as free as you dare be
beyond your span of wings?
