Watch out!  Watch out!
I’m slowly parting from love’s protective shield …
and so new life is born into human disarray
and into the problem of not knowing where to go
to emulate the atmosphere of restful contemplation.

And I juggled all the balls, chores, pleasures, more,
as if my life depended on the having of it all
but time is shorter now and the waters of destiny
like a shallow stream leading to the sea
of reflective harmony.

In the beginning I never thought I’d age
or extend my reflection across an ocean of distraction
but the all and everything mere stepping stones
back into the arms of a timeless dream.

From birth to death but the sun does it best
because it never loses focus or parts from the sky
when called upon to lose itself
in both the light and the dark
elements of life!

This is excellent!

Jo said profound, which is a good word for all your poems.
