The Chain of A Life



The Chain of A Life

Reflection on Reflecting


As I grow old, before I am cold,
And look back along my chain of life,
The twist and turns, the joys and burns,
Will I embrace both bonus and strife?

When put to task and Sphinx does ask
Whence four, two, three, or none,
How to divide in parts all the starts
In a life, portion by portion.

By place, by love, by stars above,
What measure best fits the chore?
Where, why, or when life takes a bend
To catalog the ground I explore.

How to explain links in the chain,
Passing from one phase to the next,
Might well depend on who will listen
And provide the ramblings context.

Since nobody queried my life to read
Is it to myself I speak?
For audience of one this job is done
With poetry as my corny technique.
