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

The Triumph of Death by Pieter Bruegel (the Elder).

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.

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?

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.
