Wizened

Recognizing life's fields need steady crop rotation
Each of their grains harvested requires separatization
Safely stored in silos of compartmentalization
Red lights flash consistently on the horizon
Emptiness found in the words comprising
Tomorrow is another day or so, I'm surmising
Perhaps one morning, I'll wake up more wizened

Failure is the greatest teacher of wisdom, AS. Time is the second. Nice write. Hoping you are well.

Thank you DT! I'm doing all right. You only need to worry if I stop writing about sadness as well as happiness. And you are absolutely right on both accounts. Highest regards A.S.
