into that good night

the young
take chances. look at
them
in the air,
below the sea.
there they are on the mountain
of ice.
hand over hand
trying
to reach the peak.
they run long
and fast,
they dive deep.
we were young once
too, 
fearless with no sense
of mortality.
but now, into that
good night,
we step gingerly.
