Turns green in a few months 
Withers to orange
As the leaves fall to earth
As I too wither with it

Lesson Learned

As I reach old age
the greatest lesson I've learned:
to forgive myself
of youthful indiscretions
even if no one else does

Oak

What I miss at this old age
is sitting high like some tree sage,
in a stately southern oak
not thinking of being rich or broke.

old age...
compressing
the passage of time
in a streak of light

Old Age a Perspective

The
whimpers
of childhood-
echo in the
mind,
remembered,seen
as yesterday pictures
without perspective,through a lens
close-up.

Freedom of Truth

Born alone, die alone,
Only union in marriage.
Truth as such is fathomed,
Only then will one be,
Free from bondage,
From now till old age.

Empty House

Have I lived 
For so long 
Only to die
Of old age,
Alone in an empty house.

How old age and senile relate
Depends on cycling the flood gate
Forget zipper down?
Always leave it uptown?
Each a unique cognitive state
