I enjoyed this poem very much. Especially the beginning resonated with me. It is true that now looking back on my life, it has flown by so quickly I don't know where it has gone - trickling through my fingers like grains of sand. kay

Yes, the journey of our life does seem to twirl extremely fast and the older I get the fast it moves. It doesn't seem fair. LOL I enjoyed reading this club entry and thank you for sharing it with us.

Comment from rama devi
Love the title and theme with its overtone of serenity in a life well lived. Good imagery, flow, form and phonic resonance, especially the combined sussuration of S and soft C sounds in counterpoint with consonance T and L plus alliterated P.
Warm Smiles,

Namaskaram, dear Sanku. NO, I've been in USA ever since just before the pandemic, and I've here now, taking care of my 88-year-old mom, editing, ghostwriting and pet sitting. Hope all is well with you.
Warmly, rd

I don't know if i told you My mother passed away on 12th Dec2021.She didn't suffer much was totally bed ridden and was on oxygen for about 3 weeks .She passed away in her sleep

RIP mom...and deepest condolences to you, my friend. It's very fortunate to pass away peacefully in sleep. She must have some good karma. Glad she didn't suffer much. I am taking care of my 88-year-old mom. We had to go to ER yesterday but she's okay now.
Big warm hugs,

Comment from Terry Broxson
I admit I have never heard of a Jisei poem before. I had to look it up, and I was surprised that I was not familiar with the form. It seems like such an interesting type of poetry.
From reading about it, I think it is popular in many parts of the world. Now, I really like your poem, which made me do some research on the form. Excellent work. Terry.

Comment from Mrs. KT
Beautiful, Santha, in terms of message and simplicity of expression.
Your fine poetic offering resonates with me for I, too, am in the "twilight of my life," yet I have no regrets - just "peaceful acceptance of the path I have trudged."
One small edit:
to reach the twilight of my life - eight syllables.
Easy fix:
to reach the twilight of life
or
to the twilight of my life
Much enjoyed!
Thank you for sharing!

Comment from Tom Horonzy
Actually, by reading this a few times, it makes a lot of sense, and yet, dont expect that wheel to slow for with fewer days remaining, regardless of how many, they'll speed by like a hippity-hopped rabbit fleeing for its life.

Hi Santha,
This is a short philosophical poem the tells of accepting life and what it gives you. It shows contentment until the end.
Keep writing and stay healthy
This is a good entry for the club.

Comment from Jean Hornby
A very interesting write.
I found a lot of sadness in it.
To me it was telling a story of - before you know it, the year's have gone and accept what ever is thrown at you and just get on with life
