A SUDDEN INSIGHT'S COGNIZANT GLIMPSE  (11-17-2020, 12:07am, Palm Springs, California)

as i    
continue    
to age  
to live  
learn  
evolve  
and grow    
along my    
lifes    
increasingly    
accelerated    
journey here    
with    
sixty seven    
now just    
around    
the bend    
only    
two and    
a half    
quick months    
away    
this sudden    
brief insight    
just occurred    
to me    
here    
upon seeing    
my naked    
bodys reflection    
in the    
bathroom mirror    
from whence    
this spontaneous    
seed thoughts    
new poem    
sprang forth    
and so    
quickly    
arose    
to say    
and express    
all this
here now    
i    
await in    
the kindness    
of shadows    
i    
hide from    
the cruelties    
of light    
seems    
so strange    
to hear    
these words    
arise    
coming    
up    
from me    
here now    
as i    
enter ever    
more deeply    
into these    
too quickly    
rising shallows    
of these    
my latter    
days years    
for as    
i suddenly    
recall here    
just now    
in this    
brief    
fleeting moment    
of my    
present    
looking back    
seems it    
was almost    
always nearly    
the opposite    
of that    
throughout    
all the    
years    
of my    
earlier youth    
for my    
shadows    
back then    
were a    
different kind    
of darkness    
altogether    
in which    
all forms    
of cruelties    
lived    
expressed    
and    
acted themselves    
out    
so invasively    
in my    
young life    
while    
all light    
on the    
other hand    
at least    
as far    
as i    
can recall    
or remember    
here now    
from way    
back then    
was my    
kindest    
and truest    
of allies    
and friends    
but what    
should that    
insight    
mean    
to me    
here now    
overall    
in context    
to where    
im presently    
still at    
in this    
ongoing    
even greater    
sweet mysterys    
more quickly    
unfolding    
rich tapestry    
of what    
i now    
sense    
and perceive    
as my    
increasingly    
waning  
though still yet  
unfolding  
ongoing  
ever  
mysterious  
strangely  
unique  
present  
life
in
each
and every
fleeting moment
here in this  
continuously evolving
eternally unfolding
truly mind blowing
great  ineffable
now
