The train keeps rolling
Stations fly past the windows
“Leaving middle aged.”
“Next stop, elderly”
Technicolor fades to gray
Horizon shortens.
Farther I travel
The fewer train passengers
And the more baggage.
Many memories
Therapy burnt deep pathways
Opened locked doors.
Shaped perspective:
Look ahead or look behind?
I choose tomorrow.
Remain curious
Open to new experience
Prepared for wonder.
Sing my latest song
Write my political tract
Walk my feisty dogs.
Hope for the best
Always prepare for the worst
Treasure each moment
The glass is half full
Tomorrow is another day
We are getting there.
