when men begin to get a certain age some of us are so in tune with the aging process that we understand to gently close doors we’ll never enter again as we walk during our daily routine our steps are weaker not strong and self-centered as they were merely yesterday we abhor reflective mirrors and we hear sounds no one else can hear the sound of night falling when it is broad daylight we have an insightful feel towards nightfall ©May 12, 2015 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

I am not too young to not have been "in tune" with this. To not know what is like to be contented with half measures sometimes, where we know the cup will never be full for us again. To see that shadow no one else seems to be paying attention to. The years have been hard on me in their own way, Jer. I felt this. Michael |

My take on this poem was that you are really getting in touch with your contentedness. And if the darkness is a place you find peace then so be it. The great thing about where you are at in your life right now is the freedom you have. If your heart desires oatmeal and raisins at 2:00a.m. then it can have it. If you want to walk Zoe in the rain at dawn-knock yourself out. Whatever is within your limitations is within your choosing. Continue choosing the soothe my friend. ~L |

Lori, you have absolutely found the right words to describe how it is to be seventy-six. Yes it is freedom exactly. ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |
