Aging
The war deepens
every day, yes.
What began as a struggle has become
mortal combat.
Ah ,but once I
triumphed in love and
hope and swaggered
on in the heady laughter
of survival-- convinced
of my eternity .
Now though, with
my eyes dimming,
my limbs creaking,
tell me please,
can there be a
a triumph in the
darkness and
shocking silence
of forever?

Aging is very much a personal thing and I very
much believe that sharing what we experience and
feel during the process is important for others to hear.
I enjoy your work Bennett - for some reason your
spirit touches me.
Persevere!

Such sobering thoughts, Ben; I admit they've crossed my mind on more than one occasion. Love and peace to you,
