This crumbling foundation
a testament to character –
hard battles fought and won.
I built fences, long ago –
tried to bury my fallacies
but all that decays, too
Structures either maintain or not,
but life continues, a constant flow
like a river, softens our perspectives.

I like the images that so powerfully underscore your reflection. I can see and feel the texture. And I can see how it is life.

Pleasure – it was restorative, coming to an end now down here – 11.00 p.m. and cooling nicely.

I love both the philosophy and the imagery, honoring the texture, and history of weathered structures, linked with the eternal flow of the river. I find it both immensely sad and immensely hopeful – this resonates with me.
