Slipping into Month #5 of Retirement:
Wondering ~
were all those years a dream?
where did my passion go?
was it all for naught?
Until
I see memorabilia
spend few moments with colleagues
opine about addictions issues
listen to interviews about health care ~
every day securing my place between then and now.
Until
A slump slides in wearing slippers
shifting the ground beneath my feet.
‘I don’t know how to engage with people out here!’
Gathering
my strength of will and my pen
with determination and alacrity,
my sense of purpose,
hopeful vision and wonder,
begins to blossom once more.
“It’s exciting not knowing what tomorrow,
or the next month, or the next year holds.”
~ Lucy Boynton, actress
