it's just an age thing - should you be concerned? <br />I'll spell it out; it may just clear my mind: <br />that, in impatient youth, ambition burned <br />to have the answers to all things defined - <br /> <br />but not, I haste to add, from teacher's notes, <br />but from experiences uniquely mine: <br />a random, fun-filled quest to find the goal <br />which, when defined, would ease the ceaseless strife; <br /> <br />yet now, the mind's so sceptical, and all <br />that passed for thought, just mental indigestion; <br />the quest, forgotten, changed, or redefined; <br />what passed for answers, are now up for question: <br /> <br />it's braver fun, with answers thrown away <br />to seek the greater questions in this play. <br /> <br />2003<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/0212-it-s-just-an-age-thing/
