25

Where does our youthful vigor go?
Does any earthy creature know?
Upon the meadow or in the grass
The wind with haunted means does pass
Until we are left with dampened dry
Gentle Earth disconnects from Sky
Politely asking to pass the milk
Passing from ladybugs to worms of silk
And I'm left beneath the waterfall
Questioning the value of oxygen
Struggling to breath the understanding
the mathematical precision or it all
