Loving the last chapter
by Elouise
Loving the last chapter
Short or long it’s upon me
An uneasy wedding of
For better and for worse
Heavy world-weariness
Creeps in when not looking
Though my heart insists
There’s still love to live
Not yesterday’s love
But today’s and tomorrow’s
My mind leaps up and
Out of bed each morning
Though my body won’t
Go there my heart races
Ahead into undreamed dreams
As unwritten words pile up
A strange sensation this
Knowing but not knowing where
Or how the rest of my life
Will play in this shrinking world

Telling the Truth 
You appear in excellent spirits here; of course thats the impression I got from reading this, even though I’m not the sharpest knife in the block when it comes to poetry

Thanks Brian. In some ways I’ve never felt better about who I am….despite my age and frustration about how little I’m able to do in one day. Today I had another appointment with one of my doctors. All is well for now. 😊

So with us all – the mind runs, the brain turns and the old body grinds slowly and painfully. But we keep on keeping on.
