Poem -
When Days Grow Old
As the difficulty in recognizing
The here to there
Grows more and more like twilight,
The twinkling of the nights despair
Becomes the trumpeting of an afterlife,
Where earthly matters of ~ "No one cares!"
No longer carry any weight or might
For, the ugly truth of it all
Rests in the subtle recognition
That when days grow old
So do the souls
Of us All,
Because,
When days grow old
The night is left
To its own,
Mischievous,
Devices....

Such an inventive title leads to a considered appreciation of attitude towards the passing of time.
Time marches on as it always will and we have to prepare for the fact we don't. We have to understand our place and the reasoning for it to have contentment for the length of time we are here.
Great reflection of realism and sensitivity.
Warmest wishes. :)

Amazing as usual! Life is transient and we must learn to enjoy every moment and not take it for granted or else before we know it our time is up and we realize we didn't do all we wanted to do. Love the last few lines.
When I grow old I hope to have lived a full life and have tons of little grand children and great grand children running around! Awesome write :)

My Dear Brother Poet Tony,
Our days as humans are numbered, from the moment we are born. In some, their time is curtailed by the vicissitudes of life. Yet, in others, God's gift of longevity is bestowed. But man can control his destiny, for he can augment God's blessings by serving the temple of his own body. Then, as the days grow old, these "nights in shining armour" will serve as perpetual youth.
Peace, Love and Rockets,
Larry xxx
