Mazy Mind

When the mind grows a kind of weary the eyes dull A sign that at this time one’s life is nearby full, First reaction to reverse the journey void ‘n’ null Must be one hell of a task so many mortals to cull, Reams of questions reasons to debate senses to mull When told to ready one’s self to join the everlasting lull. © Harry J Horsman 2022

With age, one begins to mull over the approaching end. If we are able to accept it with equanimity, then life will be peaceful ! No one can reverse time. So welcome the inevitable . Enjoyed this mature brooding on life written with a lot of sagacity in perfect mono rhyme ! Have a happy weekend, harry

One thing for sure God is a great God and He can handle the task of when to call one home. Soon I think there will be a great call, but the question is how many will be ready? I enjoyed reading your work. So, you are getting rain in Scotland.We had a long dry spell at our home, but it was raining around us just none here. Thank God for the rain which was really needed.

Aging, a natural part of life, must come to us all. Your monorhyme is touching and so well crafted, Harry. Enjoy your evening, Evelyn :)

We understand as life goes on the mazy mind. The former things we enjoyed pass before our eyes. The presence of death grows ever closer. Our friends and families gathering on the other side. We see our grandchildren having children, then they grow up too. …joining the everlasting lull…wow, the other side of a lullaby.

Don't go feeble into that good night my friend, but prepare the heart for the journey home, for each must go alone. I feel your words, and understand the emotion quite well, the one comfort I feel, there are loved ones on both sides, Alison told me this before she died at 21, Love and peace my dear xo

I believe it is so vitally important to write down reflections and feelings to leave loved ones a sense of soul to share your spirit. You have accomplished that in your poetry Harry. Please keep sharing with us. I love this monorhyme that shares bits of you. I am praying for your health. Love and blessings, Connie xxoo

Harry, I pray you are around for a long time to come. I know you have health problems, but I would miss you like crazy if you passed on. Thanks for all the years of friendship and this is a fantastic poem!

Indeed a thought to contemplate Harry, beautiful expressed! I try to live in the present as much as possible and think about today and yet reversing the journey sneak in regularly!! Happy Wednesday!!

Harry I think Sotto Poet said it best. Love your creativity in thought as always.

The monoryme was a good choice for this subject, Harry: It kind of reflects a note of finality. Awesome write. SuZ

A bygone era that will not be lost. Reminiscences that revive feelings. Discussions that go on forever on things that have already been stated and achieved. You have wonderfully elicited those emotions, Harry.

Never ending ruminations in things said and done. Awesome reflective write, Harry. True to life.

Splendid monorhyme. We grow old and reign ourselves to eternal lull

Heya Harry (Pay your surgeon very well to break the spell of ageing) I’m sure for many this lyric may spring to mind, but reading on down I can sense the inevitability of the ageing/dying process being accepted with a certain resignation, wonderful writing, cheers David

I suppose when we get to a certain age we start thinking about the inevitable. Tom
