Down the corridor, turn left.

Strolling down

The corridors of life

From virgin eyes to old.

How vast are the views

To behold.

"But too late!" he cried.

The acquired wisdom now collected

Lays to rest on tired bones.

By the time we get there it is often too late to apply the wisdom we retain along the way. A nice write, Andre.

Knowledge and wisdom, a lifelong pursuit.

This one is short and simple, but it's loud. I like it.
