Youth, my untried powers
and the crimson glow of dawn,

youth and its infinite horizon,

youth, when I looked forward to
infinite freedom and went
flying off cliffs,
and crashed

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Elysabeth Faslund 31 July 2007

Some young fledglings are going to fly...some flap and fall to the ground...then fly. That's what youth is all about. 'Mama, I got a bo-bo from the stove! ' 'That's because it's hot, dear. Learn anything today? ' Great good poem! xxElysabeth

Nothing like a fall to let you know where 'up' is.
