Bereft of honeyed dreams, he settles down
Into the humdrum march of daily life
No grand ambitions now, no angry frown
Just living for today: no laboured strife
He finally learnt to live Life as it was
With no regrets, no dreaded sense of loss.
"How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives." – Annie Dillard
Bereft of honeyed dreams, he settles down
Into the humdrum march of daily life
No grand ambitions now, no angry frown
Just living for today: no laboured strife
He finally learnt to live Life as it was
With no regrets, no dreaded sense of loss.
