Energy … near 90

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My friend Katie

Somewhere in her late

Eighties

Warned me this

You’ll lose your

Energy

Not me

I silently replied

Katie was right

My energy is

Evaporating

Like air from a

Balloon

With a tiny pin prick

Hole

Slowly     slowly

Over the years

Hardly noticeable until

It is noticed

Felt in the body

Matter over mind

And do not look

Back

On what an energized

Body

That puts mind over

Matter

Was able to do

And did

 

It now becomes

Acceptance

Yes

This is where I am

Today

Who I am

Still me

Only slowed

Things to accomplish

As always

Get accomplished

The finishing     perhaps

Coming with vermilion

Clouds

The sun leaves behind

Going wherever it goes

Done for this day

As I also

Am done for this

Day
