A Penny for the Old Guy

Late at night melancholy thoughts Come to my fading mind Which causes me to eventually drift off to oblivion Without a whimper but in silence. A silence without thought, Without emotion, A dead and heavy stillness that is the essence of my surroundings, But it is where I find peace. This nothingness eventually will be, My final significant individual feature. The Triumph of Death by Pieter Bruegel (the Elder). Anthony W Anthony W Allsop This is one sad outlook on life you have, David. I hope it's just reverie and not to be taken TOO seriously.

I am not slipping into senility I don't believe, but if anyone told me so I forgot. What I am doing is describing my physical and mental condition as I drop off most nights. This has nothing to do with emotion or attitude; ultimately it will be a flat line. Or as the Poet said;

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.

It is a ZEN thing.

Deborah Harvey	I don't think you have a sad outlook on life. Better to embrace all of it than suppress the darker moments. Without them, how to see the light? Posted by Deborah Harvey on February 6, 2010 - Saturday - 9:00 AM [Reply to this] [Remove] [Block User]

Thanks Deborah. My thoughts when I wrote this were not morose. Rather I viewed this regular reoccurring experience more like a physical power down exercise. It is a physical thing with me, not a spiritual thing because I only operate in physical reality; I have been unable to find a spiritual power source to experience reality on that level.
