The Future Ablaze

The older I get…

  the more exclusive I become

  with distant mountains to climb  

 

The older I get…

  the shorter the moods swing

  and the longer I can laugh out loud

 

The older I get…

  the more vivid the memory

  of what we almost became

 

The older I get…

  with feelings that burn, the future ablaze

    —the older I get
