he is at an age where <br />ambition wants to stop <br />but doubts <br />this decision <br /> <br />his tired feet say <br />it is time to just watch time come <br />and go <br /> <br />his mind is still sharp on something <br />a bird which he wants to catch <br />a fence that he wants to jump <br />a boundary that he wants to cross <br />a river where he wants to sail <br />a path to follow <br /> <br />but the bird is as restless as the air <br />the fence is higher <br />the boundary is well guarded <br />and the river is flooding <br />and the path had long been filled with tall grass <br />where snakes reside<br /><br />RIC S.
