After death I ride on the wind- The brilliance casts no shadow I am everywhere On old age Yesterday has gone= Old men have few tomorrows= There is only now. Not too morbid I hope but it is on ly natural that these random thoughts should cross the mind (and oft when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude) On death

Life is precious still=
I am afraid of the dark=
There is no escape.

After death

I ride on the wind-
The brilliance casts no shadow
I am everywhere

On old age

Yesterday has gone=
Old men have few tomorrows=
There is only now.

Not too morbid I hope but it is on
ly natural that these random thoughts should cross the mind
(and oft when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude)
