Retirement

quietly (reflecting)
each moment that you've spent

touching our lives
     with wisdom
                 (rest
                  now,

                          peaceful and content).

your task here 
     is completed
a new one has begun

take hold of life 
     and live it
     ever facing towards the sun!

                                    Shadow
