The bones ache
while the body takes
its time
at renewal.
The mind blanks
as time slips
into infinity
and then beyond.
What's left
but some stress,
a few notions.
Not much devotion.

Can a mind ache? If so mine is with the many thoughts this piece has conjured...~JPP
I can relate to the bones aching and rejoice in the renewal - away from devotion.
A wonderful ode, you've woven here, Joe. I look at these aches, even in my age, whether they be in my bones, muscles, sinews, heart or soul, as growing pains.
