Abandoned farm truck swallowed by kudzu, Yokaichiba City, Chiba Prefecture, Japan, September 1997, by MichaelThese days
I feel so old
weary
stiff
joints ache
focus wavers
past is more clear
than the present
snow begins
to cover the grass
climbing a mountain
summit hidden by fog
straining to move
this bag of bones
how nice it would be to sleep
for 10,000 years

Yes, Isabel, sometimes the prospect is blissful.
That photo - that is a very cool pic! Something about an object meant to be in motion, just rooted permanently to that space in such an organic fashion...
What a great picture to go along with the bueatiful poem. Even at 29 I have felt this way, I can relate to this poem. Ahhh 10,000 years of restful deep sleep.
Thanks, KNY and Lone Wolf!
