At the age of 62, Jack asked himself <br />the ageless questions: how should I live <br />my life? What must I give, <br />and what will I take? <br /> <br />For it seemed to him <br />that the things people called most holy <br />rested solely <br />on a rejection of the world, <br /> <br />a vague longing <br />for some perfect person, some perfect thing <br />that would bring <br />them peace, happiness. <br /> <br />Here, on this earth <br />after 62 years, <br />all his fears <br />converged <br /> <br />and he wondered <br />what was worthy, what was true, <br />what matters at 62. <br />Can we know?<br /><br />Sonny Rainshine<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/after-the-age-of-innocence/
