How long is a lifetime?
Is it as long as it seems
or as long as it means.
Perhaps it fits into
to tight a space, or
is one line too many
upon a worn face.
 
Maybe the smiles
that go on for miles,
are the yardstick
for the count of
of enough years.
Or is it the ocean
of bottled emotion
and silently shed
secret tears.
 
Thoughts enter the mind
of the curious kind,
when wondering whether
in storms that we weather
we have outlived the
one we were given,
do we just drift
till we reach the rift
which ends...
a phonious living.

I should add that this was inspired after reading Pip's post in Favourite Poems of
 
In a Dark Time by Theodore Roethke

Hy Zy
 
nice work!
 
it seems to me
a lifetime is measured by how it is weathered
whether tallship or small-ship
we're all out to sea
 
thanks for sharing,
m

Hi Zy,
 
a very reflective poem on the viscitudes of life.
 
Emma

Absolutely, Mikhail, and I saw that you have now read that poem too, so you have some idea of the mood I was in.
 
Strange how the deeper the poem, the more lasting it's impression??? Wonder why that is...or maybe that's just moi, lol, thanks for your comment, Mikhail.
 
When we are all back either well or online again, (as a couple of our regulars aren't) you will be kept busier than at the moment, but your replies are invaluable, thanks, Mikhail, Zy

A great film of it's time, Peter, and a fine philosophy if it helps or even works, but sometimes whistling isn't the answer.
 
I really am not well at the moment, Peter, but yes, low and under the weather is close enough, hence my low profile in the corner, bye for now, Zy, x

Beautiful Zy, I really liked this, the rhythm is different to what I am used to reading from you, but it works wonderfully. This is a very meaningful poem. Nice one!
 
Love, as always, Fluff x
