Let Me Grow Old

Let me grow old in peace-
Bask in rays of a setting sun
Lean back to rest, day’s work done:
From afar watch worlds grow,
Listen to new melodies flow
Not strive to reach elusive ends
Nor yearn for more; with nature blend.
A lone star I’ll shine in firmament
No one to lead; none to tend.
Lear’s madness no more my curse,
Rising no more Sphinx-like from ash
Sit and dream of another world.
Where paths run straight, winds don’t hurl,
And brooks never lose their swirl.
In gathering twilight fall asleep
Sink silently into the deep.

Glad to relinquish life’s course

Triumph o’er all crushing force.
