It was beneficial -
I was young and foolish
life's basic lessons I acquired
the better became my future

the world is never
as one would conceive
much deception does loom
and cause widespread grief

I was foolish and young
wise words from none did I receive
my way I had to find over time
but with experience in well-living I did succeed
Dancing snowdrops touch the ground
The petals pure a delicate white
Its truly a beautiful sight and I'm watching
Them sway with grace in soft sunlight
Bending low to the whispering breeze
Delicate snowdrops in
Nature’s ballet among the trees.
Dancing snowdrops.

I don’t get lonely, solitude is my best friend. I do like to visit every now and then.
I don’t behave the way I use to, just to be one of the gang.
I don’t need a “that a boy!” I’m no longer looking for my status quo of fame.
My old friends don’t understand me, something about me has changed.
I’m no longer interested in pretending we’re all at the same stage.
Traveler Tim
When you look back?
Yes, there be a few regrets.
Yes, when you look back?
Some of us must accept or admit being young and dumb.

Either having a child to early.
Or learning from our mistakes.
The stupidity of youth we all essentially make.

Wisdom sometimes comes with time.
Well, for a few.
But that's what getting older sometimes will do.

The famous athletes learn lessons the hard way.
Many celebrities the same way.
Even inmates serving time for the county or the state.
Our stupidity of youth, is a learning lesson.

Which eventually some never master.
If I am the mountain, then you are the shepherd
if you are the shepherd then I am the flock
if I am the flock then you are the mountain

we can part without a final glance and then follow one another until we are called to face each other in the morning
"The dogs they stayed,
they stayed to bury him."

A shepherd song I read from the Pirin Mountains. The author likened the mountains to hell, or the place the shepherds self-condemn themselves to,

since they cannot bear to leave that airy wild without a parting glance,
