Youth

free verse about life.

Reincarnation.
The dawn and middle, the epilogue. End.
But remember, it's the water we're after,
spiraling upwards only to rise above our soles.
On the hot cement.
Everlasting, as one.

Author's Note

what does it make you think of??

[ohh,aye]

i wrote this is as a sort of memoir to past stages of life. for example, as a a child we wish to be older, and, as adults, we miss our childhood days. water comes into play as it can exist in three states (similar to the dawn, middle, and epilogue of our lives), and does this constantly, since the beginning of time.

everlasting:)

It makes me think of cement and I'm not sure.

I'm a little confused too, but I'm not good at vocab or literature so yeah. Makes me think a lot though.

It makes me think of summers past. This is genuinely the best poem I've read on this site so far.
