Last season in cycle

Maturity

Winter approaches

Alarming velocity 

Vision dims

Mind gains clarity

World, its inhabitants,

Revealed, in all absurdity 

Finally comfortable

In my own skin

Opinion of others

Does not raise adrenaline 

Enjoy lying fallow

Peaceful contemplation 

Humanitarian battles

Left to younger generations 

Life lessons learnt 

Appreciate simple pleasures 

To be loved, return it

The greatest treasure 

Vibrancy of Autumn

Possibilities in Spring

Summer illusions

Tender memories within
