Big Birthdays

His life became a noticeboard

All events now out of date

Impending fear of being ignored

Or recognised too late

Golden numbers rising high

With helium's help to float

It can't be stopped, from passing by

But  there's time

For a few more notes

Thank you for this Ruth. Un-obviously a dedication to a few more motes in the eye of those who seek validation. Do it anyway is a more satisfying credo, I reckon.

"The artist, like the God of the creation, remains within or behind or beyond or above his handiwork, invisible, refined out of existence, indifferent, paring his fingernails." James Joyce
