I think depth must go more from age
because its hard to believe it goes from lack of courage
but, as I grow older and experience less depth,
I wonder if its they or I.

I bring my sword to bear on the solitary pages of my life now
because there’s no one else to play
or, no one judges me fit to play.

Because I love Rose and the wild naked fear
no longer shows in my eyes?
more the lack of opportunity than challenge, he…

Because God’s handing out my Karma … for free?
and what I’m looking for, I’m not supposed to see.
