The finishing line

There!
It's just ...
right there
- moved closer
by the doc's orders. 

Retirement.
My time
- an end
of
striving
for others' will
- and permission
to do what I will. 

I had
my dreams
my goals and
my long deferred plans 

But
I feel ...
Nil
Nothing
- no pain,
no hope,
neither good nor bad. 

I am
a rock
rolling to
its last rest.
