Obscurity

Posted on January 10, 2021 by Don

A misty walk along the outskirts of the woodlands

He was slowly beginning to slip out of sight. His days in the sun had become memories and he found himself receding into a kind of obscurity. He’d become a grey ghost standing on the sidelines of life. It was not an easy place to be, yet he felt a certain sense of freedom and peace about it – nothing more to prove or to compete with.

  Sadly, it’s the path of many an aged person.

Yes, it is like a dream world, ghostly. So beautiful from the moss on the tree and the soft colors that reflect a different time, a different place. It reminds me of a dream.
