Old Bones

I have gray-hued bones, old bones!

Bones plastered with thin flesh, and slow moving blood—

Under them, decay and death…

Wheels wear out, and bones wear away!

In youth I had ox bones!

In old age, brittle, —breakable, like wet old rafters:

Bit by bit to the end, then they’ll cave in.

Soon after, I’ll be put into a bowl with old fish—

But I shall not brood over times long past:

I have lived life, to its true purpose.

And well understood my own, though not great!

Yet, I have not abandoned God’s intent,

Though I’ve made many mistakes…now to be cleansed.
