Geoff,
Thanks, tired or not, you caught a number of typos I need to correct, as well as some punctuation I need to alter. I should be "recesses" and "have".
"in some ways, I felt the finish was here"
Yes, that is a common characteristic of my longer poetry (it's based on the idea of a spiral). It partly has to do with ones age as to the significance it holds for a person. This is basically divided into five parts: teens-20's wild oats, 20's-30's self-centeredly introspective (finding ones self), 30's-40's divorce/separation from children, 40's-50's remorse/regret, 50's-60's coming to terms with death. It's sort of a spiral, as it moves downward, it somewhat retraces what has gone before. Well, that the short and non-complex explanation anyway
The third to the last paragraph is the cause for the grief in the second top last paragraph. However, I may need to make it more clear.
Thanks,
Dale

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
