Behind A Late Sky

I've cut through life with grand experience.  Now I'm old and standing on the 
precipice where a man finds what really matters.  The dance of life gradually slows down, with nothing but a pocketful of memories.  Facing that last hurrah
and the joys and sorrows that make life all the more lived.  When tall shadows point the way behind a late sky, and that first sight of heaven...where men learn to fly!

Wow, thank you so much and I love your review, so informative. I am one of those who never know if it's something or not.
