" OLD AGE " MY PHOTO, ©

Image may contain: sky, twilight, outdoor and nature

As the joyful cries of life subside with the

Coming of old age 

And 

The whispers of benevolent death intensify 

My bewildered heart 

Seems to be equally divided among the two

Hesitating to choose 

Between the temporal and the eternal!

I am not in a rush to leave the temporary for I know I will have the eternal. Besides it is only an illusion that it is in my hands. Blessings Rick.

Don't choose, just enjoy the time you have and flow with life, as best you can. Well penned.

My dearest, M.L.Kiser, you know we cannot choose to get old or to follow eternity. These things are long planned in advance . We just go through the mortal emotions. Thank you for your kind visit!
