PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Wrangling back

the emotional horror

that in retrospect

was mere faux pas, I

inhale and let muscles

rest, wishing the return

of limitless energy.

.

Once run, the walk

is exercise else risk ankle

pain, hip screams,

headaches. Once bikes,

marbles, wagons, jumped

rope, pogo sticks--once.

.

No more cocktails, no

wine as avoidance of sugar.

To stretch out on a hammock

or afternoon bed tells time

it matters nothing when awake.

Memories like reflections,

feats met and excelled, high

celebrations, all bows taken

drift in and dominate.

Rest is the neo-nirvana.
