Milestones

Meandering through
These inner depths,
Mystified still,
At the wonder of it all…
Velveteen heart-thrum setting the scene
For a lifetime
Of stumbling chaos.

Flying…

Surviving this far,
Amazing feat!
Realisation dawns
Of my own mortality.
Sifting through layers
Of occurrences –
Incidents, accidents, ‘happenings’

Gliding…

Oh, so much heartache
Reaped throughout the years!
The pain of loving
Grasping at my soul,
To leave the fronded ends
In tatters,
Half a century old.

Falling…

Gathering goodbye’s
From the moment we meet,
Preparing
To leave behind our truth,
No deceit.
In realisation
That maybe life was sweet,
Was good,
Was ours,
Is almost gone.
Freefalling into absolution…
Hesitantly,

Dying.
