I will be 62 in a few months. I now realize that there are more days behind me than in front of me. Thank you for the kind words, Blue.

your existential eyes are deeper in the observing versing moments.. of pain of hope.. of this life of time .. that doesnt wait for any.. your capturing them in all subtle poetics .. is defying the time & life itself. its eternal.. as poetry as aert as love as truth. this one move me deep .. in a heavy feeling .. wordless..  light & love BK x:)

Poetry is enternal, sadly I come with an expiration date.
Thank you for the kindness of your words, uma. The older I get, the more important such things become to me.

Everyday something else hurts  
I slap on the full spectrum CBD cream and keep on marching  
Ironically my age seems to bother my younger friends more than it bothers me
Aging sucks but there is some clarity
All the crap you used to think about that seemed so crucial now seems benign
I might be too upbeat huh?
Or am I being negative?
Not sure

68 in November

You are neither being to upbeat or negative.  You are being honest and genuine.  That what I most appreciate most about you PoetSpeak.

I've concluded (at 64) that we're all here to learn to grow old gracefully - hopefully becoming more wise in the process rather than more senile. A journey requiring a forever increasing amount of patience and humility in my experience. At least it gives meaning to life  😊

Very nice, Josh. Now if I can get my body to go along...lol.

It's powerful writing.

Thank you Lozzamus. For me it's a truth...OUCH!

Most mornings I use the Buddhist tool of examining the impermanence of life...mine...those I love...the Universe. Beautiful poem my friend.

Thank you so much, Harry. In my ongoing recovery, i take an inventory. It often reminds me of how temporary everything is and to be mindful of what is, is not important.

Dear BK,

“ that hope is the evilest
temptation conceived
of by God ” LOLOLOLOL! The absolute best phrase ever!!!!!
Yeah, this whole aging thing...you’ve nailed. Fab-tastic!

Thank you Honoria. I don't like getting old very much. Hope you are well.

The imagery in this is wonderful despite the hollow spaces between words. I can feel the emotion in this very much, Kitts.

I don't know about you my friend, but this while aging thing stinks.
Thank you for the kind words.
(P.S. the hollow spaces are symbolic for the lost years).

Not sure what age you are, Kitts, but I am just shy of 61, so am right with you on the aging aspect. Ironically, though, to be honest, I have never been happier. Or, maybe contented is the more appropriate word. Or, at peace.

Regardless, I get the age thingie.

I starring right in the face of 62...ouch.

I'm kinda looking forward to retirement myself! Well, full retirement; I am alreayd partially retired. . .
