"Differences"

 Differences

Now I understand the differences in age

It also emphasises the difference in the rage

I can look at life as something mostly passed

From early youth or aged days, differences are cast

Differences in age is more than I had thought

Difference in perspectives is how it all is wrought

Stuck in the middle with life bursting out

Finding a way to leave it in rout

In youth, before image becomes quite so bound

The chance of redemption remaining so sound

In back end of life, my image has cleared

No more of the ghostings humanity feared

Caught in the middle, amidst the desires

Seeking the solace of pure spinal fires

Desperation can come like the wind off the sea

Forcing the issue of that which will be

I tried to explain the narrow way through

To focus attention on centuries due

My selfish desire clouded that which I said

And rendered the meaning as if I had pled

For life to be whole, so that we could be too

But, once more, was stolen, for time became due

I am convinced that the time will arrive

For next incarnations to glory and thrive

Yes, once again, this straddles the boundaries of Avalanche and Tapestry.  I'll put this one in both.
