George Benson - 20 / 20 vision
if i knew back then
what i know now
if i understood the what when
why or how
now it's clear to me
what i should have done
but hindsight is
20/20/ vision
30 years ago
the prospect of aging
was not even a speck
on the horizon
today
reality kicked in
time zoomed up
in a turbo charged
hot rod
screeched to a halt
in a cloud of road dust
and said
greetings
"you are now officially old"
what?

I like your play on 'vision' :)
ReplyDeleteYou will never be old in thought Rallentanda - your imagination and vision is alive - and happy new year to you too
ReplyDeleteThat's telling it like it is
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year
much love...
Ha, I love how that speeding roadster suddenly screeches up in a cloud of dust. Priceless! (and you are not really old till you are my age, LOL. My son informed his sister, in shocked tones, this Christmas:"Mom is OLD, now. Did you know that??????)
ReplyDeleteThe kids think you are old when you are 50:)

Good blend of music and poetry. Why isn't time itself in a wheelchair? Slow down! If it slowed, I wouldn't mind getting old. And I'll take that fast car, please. Thank you for your vision.
Beautifully evocative!!❤️
ReplyDeleteLet's be timeless instead!
ReplyDeleteDon't take any notice of him, I just shood him away and continued to be the foolish young man I always was. (However I do notice that people laugh a lot these days! I can't think why.)
ReplyDeleteI don't like growing old but it beats all the alternatives. Anyway, if you were really old, you'd be bitching about the dust. :-)
