Wise enough, he made friends with Wisdom
Quick enough, he took his steps to beat time
Young enough, he had energy unmatched
Smart enough, he spoke his words with care
Bright enough, he had the light within
he was everything, to have lead the world
never stopped, to build his ship of dreams
tireless efforts, those sleepless nights
never failed to sew the wings he would fly with
yet, in the end
it plunged into his back
scattered all that he had gathered
piercing his dreams, hit him in the face
could it be more cruel – the Fork of his Fate

Funny, this one reminded me of someone who works their whole life, and doesn’t realize that they are only working, and not actually making relationships…life passes them by in a blur and then they are old and lonely and forlorn because they are too old to work any longer, and haven’t developed any other interests in their lives…they have nothing to talk about to others and don’t know how to relate to them except in the role of a working person. Very sad.
