Grizzled

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Nov 30, 2023 

Grizzled.
Life’s
journey.
Etched
deeply.
Reflective.
Chiseled,
hammered.
Rough
hewn
textured.
Wisdom
hard
earned.
Stooped.
Great
burdens
endured.
Battle
hardened.
Beyond
the assured
age of
ignorance.
Youth. 
Looking
back
so many
missteps.
Lessons
learned.
Attainment.
Knowledge
compounded.
Final
product.
Enlightenment,
never ending
winding
road.
