Analysis of The Future Ablaze
The older I get…
the more exclusive I become
with distant mountains to climb
The older I get…
the shorter the moods swing
and the longer I can laugh out loud
The older I get…
the more vivid the memory
of what we almost became
The older I get…
with feelings that burn, the future ablaze
—the older I get
(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2016)
