Musings Under The Oaks : An Earthly Being In Awe 

 
The more I forget
the greater the pleasure 
in what I remember. 
 
The more corruption I see
the more I enjoy
the innocent play of children. 
 
As my body yields to age
the greater my delight 
in youth whizzing by. 
 
And day by day
I become evermore in awe
that there is anything at all, 
much less this.
