Half a Century, Fifty, Feb. 19, 2011

listening to the voices
that chat through the night
disturbing my slumber
again

not inside my head though
this time external forces
deeply enjoying life
again

fun times had with friends
enjoyable moments in time
they are not my moments
again

it is not me being bitter
that times have gone by
I don't need to live them
again

I only ask for consideration
remember others are here
living lives outside yours
still
