Midlife Crisis

Beware the midlife crisis: 
It takes you by surprise 
after your 40th existential rise.
There is no remedy
to cure this dralody.
All you can do
is feel blue
and pout
day in and day out.

They say that life  begins at forty
but they are wrong
because not everyone 
starts looking for fun
in the birthday song. 
while dancing
and prancing
on the road from Trinity
to some infinity.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
