Wearer of shit tinted glasses

He feels the orchards of his age

are beginning to give up

wanting to bear fruit.

 

Tenebrous dirges

are drowning out

his hearts song.

 

Gone,the suns hands on his shoulders.

The moons smile for him

really is waning forever.

 

He sees the promises of life

passing him by

in broken pieces.

 

What nightmares are gathering

for birth in his mind?

Is that despairs jagged rocks

beckoning the last bastion

of his hope to fall?

Steve,as they say,you are as old as the woman you feel!
ooer missis! Harry perhaps JC is having a long lie in.Who could blame him after all miracle working,walking on wild water and lugging a bloomin great cross up a hillside.Not to mention taking orders from five thousand people at once to make sure they all liked bread and fish.Tough titties if they didn't! xx

Stef,
A nice `what was it all about Alfie` one.

Most of our ageing population (including me) are now begininng to feel like this and wisely clinging to one or other of those thousands years old answers ( I mean surely by now someone should have come down to give us some sort of an indication?)

Not sure my orchards have given up wanting to bear fruit yet, but they're close!

Steve
