The Upside And The Downside

April 2, 2019sandyjwhite About Life, Monochrome, Photography, Photos, Poetry, The Age Factor, Words Tags: Monochrome, Poetry, Upside, Word of the Day

One of the benefits of
Accrued age
Is finally understanding
And
Being at ease with
Who you are

The conundrum
Is to not
Ride the wave of
Complacency
Into oblivion

Allowing your
Smugness
To pen the final chapters
Of your life
For you

Word of the Day – Upside
