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.
Huh! my body aches just reading this..oh gosh how easy we can forget too..great write
