Raison D'Etre
Death's voice deranges my mind. It feels as if the clock above my head has begun to unwind. A decade and beyond, But only now am I beginning to feel alarmed. If only I had a magic wand. 14, 15, to where have my stolen memories disappeared? Thursday, Friday-Monday, Tuesday... Did Saturday and Sunday run away? Oh please, in my dreams allow me...

As we approach our golden years, nothing prepares us for what lies ahead. Everyone reaches it... it's inevitable but that doesn't mean we are really prepared! After a lifetime of happiness and struggles, nothing prepares us for suddenly feeling abandoned, not having purpose, a raison d'étre! Unless we can replace our active life with some activity...
