Wasted Youth
Eat and be merry
A glass of wine with cherry
Sparkling in eyes
Of vibrant young
Nothing of concern
Is discerned
Staring in bottom
Of bottle of booze
Youthful fun
Faded memories
Looking back on
Wasteful youthfulness
Experience, knowledge
Deep rooted
Produced wisdom
From bottom of the barrel

Ah, yes!
so very true! Enjoyed the read, another excellent piece of writing.

"Death" is nonsense: what is there to die?
"Life"? How could " life" "die"? That is a contradiction
in terms. Can "light" become "darkness"?
"Light" can only cease to be apparent
