Words really matter. Blavatsky said 'the universe is never again the same for every word spoken!'. Reading and writing poems and poetry helps me concentrate on words, thoughts, feelings. My first son, Andrew, has Down's Syndrome and he allows me to see the world differently and that's a great source of inspiration - as are my sons Angus, Adam and wife Amelie...........words, poems, feelings ...........Love - of course!!!
I especially like 'hit top C's' -- that expresses so clearly what it physically means to be young.
Importantly, you lead with 'a desire to be young' as that desire is never gone, even as we inexorably move away from that place he described as "no country for old men."
Really like what you've done here with this one. Captures a real sense of the desire to be young again.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! Again Yeats!
