I have often wondered where I am at in the season of my life. I'm 67 years old and am pretty sure I am in late autumn. I might just get hung up there for awhile. LOL I don't think I'm ready for winter, yet. I enjoyed reading.

Thank you for reading and reviewing. I have been reading your work for a long time and surprise, I am older than you by two years. I agree we are not in winter. Thank you for the many stars.
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
It is never over until the fat lady sings, but here, coming to terms with the inevitable is often soothing and peaceful, although I never want to think about life being over as I am enjoying myself far too much, food for thought here, love Dolly x

May we all take your glorious advice. A life well lived is what all should strive for as we come to our later years. I love your perspective. This poem speaks raw and true.

Comment from Susan Newell
This poem has nice flow while it summarizes preparing for the season to end, and not be reborn (at least in the same way). This is just a nice, easy, content and resigned attitude toward the end of life.

Comment from Chris Fruge
I thought your piece really captured the 'winter season' of someone's life in a poignant manner. I enjoyed it. The only thing that caught my eye is that the first line isn't starting with a 'W' and I think you need that for an acrostic poem. You may be able to sneak it in if you started it with 'when in the winter...'. Just a thought as it may need a little wordsmithing to flow a bit after that. Regardless, it's a nice work.

Great way to look at the "winter of life." That is the time to work on peace with past and present relationships and rejoice in the life given.
Tiny suggestion: the following lines have commas which may be for a pause but it disconnects the thought:
Time to make peace, with my higher power
and
Rejoicing in a life well-lived, to the end
You can either use "..." or even for visual drama, go to the next line.
