Cyrcle <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The old men said, <br />So short… <br />So quick… <br />is life to pass. <br />Yesterday it was… <br />much to be done, <br />remains undone. <br />Is this May or June, <br />which year? <br />Last year only, <br />I was ten years younger. <br /> <br />Old men looking backwards. <br />Young men looking on. <br /> <br />Fearless, full of want, <br />forever at their feet. <br />What could they know, <br />the old men? <br />What could not be done? <br />A life of time to realise, <br />to realise that soon <br />it will be yesterday <br />and much to do <br />remains undone. <br />So quick… <br />So short… <br />Young men will say. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Martin Swords March 2001<br /><br />Martin Swords<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/circle-16/
