Body and Mind Recluse
A man’s as old as he’s feeling … ~ Samuel Taylor Coleridge
If the body frees the mind in its quest
For youthful dreams to be forever young
Let not time play such games like cricket test
To stay batting because the gloves are hung.
If I should sit alone in dark of night
Will I hear angels singing of a new King?
Or should I let my mind wander for light
Until sunlight herald flowers of spring?
"Never too old", I thought in solitude
Murmuring to myself, " Am I too late?"
But the mind regales with much gratitude
That I am so far from St. Peter'sGate.
When youthful feelings prod the mind to soar
Sweet dreams go far beyond ocean's shore.
