As I age this last quarter of my life, I am fading into the background. As I let go of roles,
Cold spring rain chills my body And yet, the birds fly in unison As if, it is a sunny day. The white tail deer Bounce through the ravine

Easing down the gravel road, yellow leaves spiral across, like a welcome
Walking on the edge, Between awareness and sleep. Sometimes... I’m in the moment, I feel my body,
