I have thought about it long and hard and now conclude there is no way you could have chosen a more apt title to front a topic that if we take enough breaths will have a vast impact on us all .. I have never been afraid of dying or of my own departure, but I am not keen on this getting old malarky .. the losses seem to occur back on back & with increasing ferociousness .. I still have my hair and a few marbles but still feel like a casualty .. I am not in the least bit surprised by the number of folk ho rate these words of yours so highly my friend .. and believe me, I do too .. Neville πŸ‘πŸ‘

It\'s nice to find someone as depressed and disappointed as I am. Finding things to counter this mood get harder and harder to find. \"Now winter\'s cold is coming\".

I\'ll circle around for a bit longer if you don\'t mind - if I take this too seriously, I\'ll crash...
Not sure if you are serious about the cost of living, Soren - be interesting, as I can\'t see metaphors being very handy there....😜

This body will rot
Only if it\'s in the grave
Is that not the intention
Of the Creator, I say?!
Look to the east
On your quest
Then take the journey
To the west

We must accept the aging process, but we don\'t have to like it. I still have all my hair, but I\'m losing other things. Nice work Soren

Liked and Faved. Part of me has days like that… now I’m nursing my sore feet. Just back from a much needed shift as the cost of living keeps us toiling even past what once was typical in one’s lifespan. So we trudge along like a tattered jalopy.

Thanks for the info, Soren. I wonder if Mithrandir\'s pipe was made of meerschaum?

This poem is full of intrigue. It is beautifully penned Soren, but the meaning eluded me. I had to scroll to find out further. I am thankful for learning something new today. Delightful reading.

I really enjoyed this poem reminded me of an elderly couple i used to help, the old fella used to smoke these beautifully carved pipes, said there was nothing better. The wife said at his funeral Smoking might have killed him, but the pipes paid for the funeral, a lovely poem

Tristan Robert Lange said:

First, bravo...it is not often one sends me down a πŸ‡ hole of research, as I am a pretty well researched person. 🀣 That said, I have to confess I did have to look up meerschaum and, wow! I pretty much could figure out it was a sort of sea foam or something of that nature; however, when you got to smoking it...I knew I had to look it up. In this poem I see themes of transformation (soft to hard, color changes, etc.), versatility (represented by meerschaum\'s multiple uses)...and the interplay between natural materials and human culture and ingenuity (storing pipes in gourds...and using meerschaum as an incense burner). Anyway, multiple layers to this wonderful poem, my dear friend! πŸŒΉπŸ‘
