Pulling Away

Uncategorized 1 Minute

At eighteen,

 I was ninety percent body

 and ten percent mind

 

   …but over the years that trend has reversed

 

Now,

 I’m ten percent body

 and ninety percent mind

 

   …whose biology Father Time chose to curse

 

My mind

 is now winged

 like a high soaring hawk

 

   …with youth the small price for what’s known

 

All limits

 have lifted

 old burdens have gone

 

   …as my spirit pulls hard to let go
