Tough to Know You're in Your Prime

Alpha List Number Poems Content Poems for Free Copyright by Nicholas Gordon

Tough to know you're in your prime. You've had How many dreams, and now, for you, dreaming Is not enough. Remember the need for sorrow. Remember the beauty in time's passing. Tomorrow The Earth itself will be a dream, and the mad Years of hunger will dissolve into seeming. Tough to know that it's your time. The sad World waits like weathered stone for its redeeming. Only remember: these are days you borrow. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon. Free for personal or non-commercial use.
