what we know now

Youth,
with our skin so bright.
I long for the return
of youth.

I want to stand
forcefully against the wind.
feeling infinite;

invulnerable;
invincible;
impossible.

You were wondrous
in the prime of our youth
your curious eyes danced across the room.
I hope you can return
to the comfort of your mother’s presence.

All I ask;
is it truly possible
to unlearn the struggle
within the truths
we have already uncovered?

Is it possible
to regain the warmth
of all we did not know
in youth?
