When did this happen to me? I’ve been aware of the eventuality Overtaking me from afar Like a slowly rising tide Like a fogbank rolling in To swallow me up But always from a distance And never an immediate concern Now, in a blink, it seems It has caught me The affliction of time Not old age, though that too Starts to loom There... In the distance Not an immediate concern But the age that drapes you Like a threadbare cloak Like a patina of rust The age when young men No longer fear you Yet, you fear no one The age when young women No longer desire you Yet, your desire is undiminished This thing now challenges me To garner a new respect To find a new romance Using the very tools That time has given me While wearing its’ raiment |

Is this the quibble line? If so, I am here to quibble too, and add to that number. Yup - it may be that time to think of things differently but doesn't mean you are dead yet This is great for the book by the way. |

But the age that drapes you Like a threadbare cloak Like a patina of rust Kind of like spit polish, that waxes the soul and gives it luster. You've still got it wranx~ keep it shining for when that special someone comes along. |

This thing now challenges me To garner a new respect To find a new romance Using the tools That time has given me While wearing its' raiment *********************************** A very good and honest write. I would imagine that when you feel a challenge, you come forth with all the charm and wisdom that age gives....some of the tools that time has given. Hugs, Ethel |

i miss the days when clocks meant nothing and the only reason you knew to come back inside was because one of your parents came out to get you |

You're so right. Age should have given you tools and everything that goes with it. Youth is only the rehearsal. The main act follows. joyce Joyce |

 I know what you're saying here, and it is wonderful to read your work again. You could hurt me with your bare hands. You could hurt me using the sharp edge of what you say. JEWEL |
