At 70

Post by the mingo » October 31st, 2021, 9:51 am

At 70 the landscape changes

from one thing to another

no one can stop this

but hidden within it is a release, a way home



the stretch run

the thorned crown laid aside

no longer needed



at the

finish line

eternity
Doll, you may have found a place of rest but I'm still on the trail.

Beautiful
reason is over rated, as is logic and common sense-i much prefer the passions of a crazy old woman, cats and dogs and jungle foliage- tropic rain-and a defined sense of who brings the stars up at night and the sun up in the morning---
