Measure by Degree


I am renewed today


and showered in my


advancing old age.



I am left with my


memories hovering


over me and with


something left to say.



76-years measured


in mankind times is


both bittersweet and


sublime.



I am who I am, no


longer the man I was.


It is what it is and


always has been


because,


because,


because.




And the future


ahead of me


is measured


incrementally in


the unknown yet


dwindling degree.
