LIFE'S FRAGILITY
Youth abounds -
nothing can harm.
Young adulthood -
risky and fast.
Adulthood -
questionable,
attempting maturity.
Then middle-age approaches -
energy high,
activity rampant,
searching, meditating,
finding self -
only to discover
bodies aching,
bones breaking, organs failing -
battling fear,
attempting serenity
until life's fragility
ends in
Death....
