The Shores of Alone

At what age is it ok
to be old?
When do you stop being startled
at your reflection?
When do the gray hairs
become natural?
When is it ok
for your skin to sag
and your mind to forget
that you used to be different?
When is is ok
to lose the rest of your hope
and most of your friends?
NO
It will never be ok
with me
I am going down
fighting...


Words are things, and a small drop of ink, falling, like dew, upon a thought produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions think.
Lord Byron

I'm going down fighting too Cat, loved your poem with its defiance and victory.
Be well

but it is the loss that shapes the image,
gathers the flowers weaves the garland."-
