Words of great wisdom

let the dust settle my son

and the dust settled

The sixth age

 

The wisdom of age

does not compensate for lost

capabilities.

Birthday

 

The older I get

the less certain I become

about anything;

a condition my young self

would struggle to understand.

 

by Scooj

Hair today, gone tomorrow

 

Such sacrifices

made in pursuit of wisdom;

I’d rather have hair.

Ageing

My eyes are no good,

my ears are no good; at least

I know who I am.

by Scooj

In the lap of the Gods

 

Where did it all go?

Youth, enthusiasm and

immortality.

Autumn life

 

Young whippersnappers

take heed; your golden years will

begin in your fall
