In Jackie Chou's free verse poem "Morning Musings with Bird Songs," the poet reflects on the passage of time and the inevitable shift from youth to a more mature self. The weight of each step and the burdens of age contrast with the longing for the fleeting days of youth, captured poignantly through introspective imagery and a sense of nostalgia.
