late afternoon sun
shines into my little
study longer
another spring
is given
a new river of
poems begins to flow
as I grow older
still reading by natural light

Reading your evocative poem made the 1970s song, *Afternoon Delight,* start floating through my mind…

Hi Barbara, Some music came to me today too. I stepped into the yard and heard spring birdsongs again. I thought, “never too old for this to be brand new…”

Hi Caddo, Today I made a simple note in my journal: write about aging.
I feel so good about growing older, and want to write more poems along these lines.

Dear Labyrinth-Living, That phrase was surely a gift! There are some beautiful smaller rivers and creeks in this area.
