Turning 70 makes one take a life review. This poem is a reflection on the last twenty years of my life.
Twenty Years
Engulfed
by the waterfall
of Life
In the wake
of
my 50th birthday season
Gushes of goodness
Cascades of laughter
Sprinklings of distress
Swirls of sorrow
Surges of
creativity
Torrents of contentment
The flow and stream
of seeking
finding
losing
Downpours
of peace
The life-force
of love
An entire flume of feelings
in
hindsight.
Eyes fixed on seventy.
