Old men can’t help themselves,
it’s the nature of the beast,
the looking back,
the wondering about change.
If they’re lucky, they
consciously decide to be still,
use their current downtime,
allow some time to contemplate
their spiritual nature,
realize it’s not how it was,
nor how it will be,
it’s how it is right now.
Once they accept that,
they can rest in a peaceful heart,
live with appreciation and awe,
grateful their body is not yet used up,
smile when something is delicious,
and when it’s beautiful, simply sigh.
