Six and Five

By heinzs

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Six and Five Tired baby wailing - such deep-felt pathos. Happy infant cooing - with unbridled joy. How simple it all seems within childhood dreams. But that is not the end - it's the beginning. Our perception matures with experience. What once seemed so easy now make us queasy. Desperation rages, weighing down the soul. Wishing it were not so, we strive to survive. We do our conscious best in life's constant quest. 3/20/2002 Written March 20th, 2002 © on Mar 20 2002 07:48 AM PST, Heinz Scheuenstuhl    0 • 10
