Introspection
/The term “unbridled passion” stirs a memory deep in mind
Of youthful thoughts and actions and ambitions which were blind
The charging into every day as if it were the last
No concept of how every hour would soon make up my past.
I knew that somewhere long ago there must have been a time
When mountains’ height could not deter my hearts’ desire to climb.
No goal that couldn’t be attained, no being I could not be
No destiny denied to mind and Time an endless sea.
But now I find I am amused at where I have arrived
Gone is youthful energy yet I’m pleased that I survived.
It’s not what I had thought I’d be when starting out as young
My life just not the subject of great songs that could be sung.
But I’m content to be the man I see within my mirror
Despite the things I never did, I see myself much clearer.
