Evening of My Life
I have found in the evening of my lifeExperiences that are life altering
Writing has been lifesaving
Decades in the making
Sharing spoken words out loud
Is new, now a year hence
A gift that is life giving
Shared with others
Finding love when I was not looking
When I was discovered
In a simple conversation
That has grown deeper by the day
She has become a loving partner
Where comfort is given
In times where it is needed most
And I return in kind
My children all survivors and fighters
Are making their own path
Refusing apathetic temptation
In these extraordinary times
While anxiety rides my shoulders
It does not stop the next step
In my journey, like my children
I fight, I survive events
Swinging carefully at targets
Always aware of what is at risk
Quixote may be my guide
Hope is always one step away
No matter the chaos
I feel compelled to risk
The next battles
With writers in kind, my brethren
We are the voice
We will not be silenced
Our voices will outlast
All attempts to intimidate us
In the evening of my life
Who could ask for more.
