Poems and Thoughts    by Frank Maurer

Trapped by Age. When one is young, all things are possible: To run, to dance, to explore, to attract, to make love. As time passes, abilities are decreased, but in the mind, Nothing changes-- The older one, still desires to run, to dance, To explore, to attract, to make love. The body's slower abilities, no matter how one tries, Immures the bodily spirit Towards that inevitable eternal freedom. Frank Maurer 14 March 2024 0400 Hours.
