When I was young I knew
I saw black and white
clearly defined
but then I grew
morphed, changed into
what I am now
sniviling little creature
scared of life
and black n white
are now intermixed grey
an aging creature
worn, changed, sculpted by time
into what?
my lack of rectitude
of my childlike moral compass
old grey has taken over
my clear vision
am I then better then when I was young
and sure of myself?

Good question. I’m remined of that line in a Byrds song My Back Pages, “I was so much older then, I’m younger than that now” that perhaps it’s perspective and letting go?

I will have to relisten to the song. I think often children see the world more clearly for what it is than adults merely because they are children and don’t have the perspective of time. Letting go of what you can not change, whether in the past, or present, I think is key to being able to live happy in this life – which seemed to me mared by time.
