Fading

Fading

Fading...

The great gig in the sky awaits us all but certain souls are impatient...

Not by choice but by acceptance...A great calm washes over oneself once fate is realistically realised.

I am now my father in 1991. Our council house had a lawn with a hump at one end. My Dad gave up removing said hump halfway through....this is where I am now. Giving up...soon the half hump of bare soil will be covered with weeds and wild grass. Only the dream of what could have been will live on.

It's in my genes, my DNA.

Acceptance makes martyrs of us all. A spent sparkler, a damp squib on bonfire night. A beautiful dream of "ooohs and arrhs" that could have been...but failed to ignite.

So many just the same...fledging from the nest but never perfecting the beautiful ability of flight
