The Budding of the Senescent

`

When you reach the forgotten age
like 45, between 40 & 50
you realise that you need someone
by your side to remind you
that it isn't who you're with
but what you feel in your heart
they say life begins at 40
they also say that it's the mid life crisis

for sure you're no longer young
and for sure have not attained seniority either
you're somewhere in between
like an adolescent once again
but you're no longer young
though you aren't as old as time
senescent, with dreams half-wasted
and with fewer hopes to lay claim

When you reach that forgotten age
like 45, between 40 & 50
remember to take a deep breath,
let the stars shine on you again,
allow the wind to brush your brow
and remind you why you feel
to live if only for the moment
and be in the moment thereonafter.
