He looked a bit above his age —
For went through burning fire.
He was inordinately sage,
Been dancing on a wire.
He’s seen it all; the ride was rough,
Took dives and hit the bottom.
There was so much he had enough —
No life in silk and cotton.
As tension grew and pressure built,
He played it smooth and clear,
And was the one to pay the bill —
As was, indeed, it dear.
And even then, when all the brave
Stooped low and tried to veer,
He took the roads that weren’t paved —
Evasions, lies, and smear.
He learned it fast and learned it soon:
No single thing’s unnoticed.
One hundred twenty harvest moons
And ninety equinoxes.
Were switching to a smolder mode,
Continued stubs to glare.
He picked the keys and cracked the code —
As less he couldn’t care.


Мне понравилось! Что есть, то и есть. Супер!
В этом есть доля грустной правды
Красиво. Поэтично. Печально. Напоминание - все тленно , все смертны) Дает ли это ощущение неизбежности, принятия и успокоения или глубокую…
Очень хорошо, но немного грустно
Потрясающи !!
