  Kurt,
  
  As I read “One Last Time”, for some reason I felt a certain sadness.
  
  I guess with age and experience we come to realize that we’re
  ‘not here to save the world’. Hopefully we’ve made a bit of a difference. When we approach a certain period in our life, we’re no longer ‘here to ride the wave’.
  That ship has sailed.
  As we grow and blossom into our youthful self, we feel we can
  ‘save the world’.
  As we approach our twilight years, we realize what is done is done…enough…che sarà sarà!
  
  ‘Time on trial my last denial
  —on distant Ronan land’
  Is this Ronan, Montana you’re referring to?
  
  When I saw the word in your poem, I was wondering about its relevance…so I thought it might be a place you’ve visited during one of your many travels.
  
  (When I read “Searching For Crazy Horse” for the second time, I was curious to know the locations of the places you wrote about. So I looked them up on a map to have an idea of your travels.)

    Ronan is a Samurai without a Lord, free to wander and roam.
