MY QUIETUS

poem by: Ja Ja
Written on Apr 01, 2017

Having long ago gone past
The equinox, of my being
Now, itâ€™s only atrophy 
In myself Iâ€™m seeing

Yet, I grudgingly march on
To the solstice in my life
A meeting with that grim
And hooded thing, with scythe

But, this journey to my destiny
At the end of perditionâ€™s road
Is made, not with heavy heart
But with joy, from easing of the load

I hope I understand this poem having read it twice, I am pretty sure. I too have just past the equinox of my being. Recently I watched my Father as he bravely took a road less traveled on his way to" the end of perdition's road". I sat with him and spoke softly of his loved one's who had sipped from the cup of joy, already gone before him. Thank you for sharing this beautifully worded poem
