I’m not sure, but those who make it to old age tend to come to a calm acceptance. It is the end of the journey, and perhaps for some the battle. Yet, those who do make it that far should see it as a blessing. So many do not get that far.

Powerfully penned, Peter. Excellent write my friend. I concur with Mark, getting older there is a calm acceptance that takes place. For me it was recognizing my mortality, and realizing if I didn’t change my perspective I was going to die miserable or suddenly. Or worse yet, both. I can relate my friend but there is a blessing in figuring out that changing the lens helps a lot. We all go through this you’re definitely not alone. Appreciate you.

Chère C.,
Love your write and your choice of music.
This is 12 years old and I didn’t know it, so I’m really glad you suggested it.This is so close to my music, that it gives me the courage to ask if i can put one of your poems to music one day.
Please don’t be scared. I’ll do nothing without your full OK. OK?
Have a wonderful thursday!
Warm regards, Gus -
