Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun — Time by Pink Floyd

A word in the ear to my younger self

You and me got lost in the crowd
You know …
YOU — ME: our edgy self!

You didn’t honor your power
You couldn’t grasp …
that you WERE
a fine ass flowerrrrr

You didn’t see your glory
Just too deeply lost
In a sad old story

If you knew what you know now,
how time rushes too fast
Anyways …
you can’t magically change your past
