“Closing Down”
O Lord, there’s lots of former ways
Are closing down – no longer pay
To persevere along those lines
For Jacques was right – I’ve crossed a line.He said two years before the switch,
And three that follow, “Watch the ditch”,
Disrupted you will be as shift
Is made – there opens up a rift –Between what was and what now is
A way of doing life, for biz
Of years gone by has shifted now
To larger span of time somehow.So huge amounts of life are gone,
Irrelevant – I move along
Like pre-teen to their tweeny years
Of hormones, adult lives, and fears.Lord, I know this from time before;
This last of several spans is more
Than most of life has place for now,
So here I am – reflecting how –To plug this in – abstraction’s way
Is catapulted I must say;
I’ve never viewed life quite from here,
But Wow! The scene from here is near.Not outwardly – that falls apart;
But inwardly – like from the heart –
An inner world I had not viewed
Before as I am now renewed.Imploding? Yes, like teddy bears,
And Dragon “Puff”, with former cares;
Lord as I now look up and in,
Help me accept new span I’m in.Thanks Lord for this.
