Ahoy, Ron!
I’m reviewing this as a "The WDC Angel Army Angel and to thank you for all the reviews you do on this site!
I don't normally read poetry except for free verse and limericks, but seeing this was about aging, I figured I'd better check it out. And I'm glad I did! I may only be 54, but I've been thinking a lot about my own mortality lately for some reason.
I love the ocean, so to see how you compared aging to the rolling waves and the sea gulls and the wind and all those other things associated with it was great. What's more (and I'm not sure you noticed this or I overlooked it) is that the ocean is forever moving, and the tides will all be coming in and going out. At least until the earth is gone, anyway. That's another way of comparing life to the ocean.
But what made this shine was the positive spin you put on it at the end: We might not be here physically after we die, but we will become one with the earth and the ocean and the sky!
Well done, my friend.
Kee ponw ritin gon, and have a really far out day!
