Forty-one is not yet past his prime --
Older, to be sure, but far from old.
Revelations come and go with time,
Their streams of wisdom running hot and cold,
Yet here and there he pans a bit of gold.
One's life is too voluminous to hold,
Nor can one slow each year's departing chime,
Even as each breath remains sublime.
