DAYS FROM BEING PAST 66

Days from being past 66
you wonder,
Are things left undone?
Well, of course.
You read thru ideas of men
Written hundreds of years ago
And realize
Stunningly
Their questions are similar to yours
What is it all for?
Statements regarding the necessity of faith
Leave you with the realization that things you came to know when you were 10
have relevance now.
The struggle towards insight,
confronting your own lethargy,
Has purpose and should not be ignored.
Nor should laughter,
A moments peace at sunset,
Or the way cool water can soothe
on a hot day.
