Ageless

I still devour the voices

grab the sky to embrace it

rage the world ablaze

snuff out torrents of rain

sail the squall of tempests

I still devour the voices

dance in youth’s wild abandon

pluck the strings of truth

tear my soul in pieces

to let life into my heart

I still devour the voices

holding spring to my bosom

seizing the pennant of spirit

swallowing its nectar deeply

imbibing the dregs of youth
