Youth flaunts her truth
serious in convictions –
that eternity exists
that words carry worth
Folly naturally succeeds
break down – inevitable
the opportunity to learn –
silent, age considers action.
(Image mine)
Silent, Age
One Woman's Quest
Passion for writing ignites my soul's momentum
I love how this poem characterizes youth with words and age with action. I love the image, too.

Are you basically saying that this life is but a doomed journey of misery and loneliness, punctuated by moments of suffering, and ending in total annihilation?
