Had to get my driver’s license renewed 3 months ago.
Dread.
Didn’t know what to expect.
Studied the questions, just in case.
Knew I’d look like crap in the photo
the DMV would take of me.
But miracle of miracles, almost like
Moses parting the red sea,
I liked the photo they took of me
for the first time since I’ve had
those usually lousy DMV photos taken.
I looked years younger and far
better than I imagined I would.
Maybe I’m aging backwards.
Or, more likely,
maybe I need new glasses, lol.

Age 80. Cancer survivor since 3 years ago. Work out 3 times a week. Ride my exercise bike 2 hours a day. Live a solo reclusive life. Retired a year ago from working with the elderly in a nonprofit. Started writing poetry a little over a year ago; most poems I write are fictional but some are not. Spiritual with a permanent spiritual experience. Write poems on many subjects. Always researching for many of my poems and because of my unquenchable thirst for knowledge. After reading and hearing about many near death experiences and death bed visions, I believe death is the ultimate awakening and the relocation of a lifetime. You may believe differently, but you have the right to be wrong -- I'm just messing with you. :-)
