Lux's Indulgences - 24. Forty

Am I aging

If I don't feel very old?

My body is changing,

Or so I'm told.

 

I still have dreams

And timorous fears.

I still like to drink

So let's say cheers!

 

Around the sun

Once more for us.

The galaxy's bigger,

So what's all the fuss?

 

Some day this will all fade away,

Naught but one child's wild dream.

But today I'm alive, and

"Fuck yes!" I scream.

This is an excellent birthday poem. That you are alive is as important a fact of the universe as any galaxy. I liked this very much.

It seems birthdays with a 0 are such a big deal... Love how the last strophe sums everything up in a big "F U, I'm alive, deal with it" kind of way.

An upbeat poem is a welcome thing nowadays. I love the flow of positivity here 

Yeah, we can't have all doom and gloom. Especially when it comes to aging!
