Just a Tick

You brushed my elbow today
And my heart leapt

How is it that I
With all these miles on my dials
React with the optimism and excitement of the young ?

Still keeping at bay
The cynicism age promised.

Managing to learn nothing
From mistakes

Knowing in my heart
I would trade a century
For five minutes of pure joy.

Is not a moment , just as significant as a life ?



Blimey

On one today.

Your reflections on even the small, fleeting experiences of your life are always so thoughtful and elegantly composed. Always a pleasure to read.
