Your poem reminds me (soooooo much!) of senior monks (Trappists) I lived with at the abbey...."In his eighth decade he shepherds creativity and magic..." What a gift to find souls like this! I love your poem's ending:"...then fall quiet oiled, cared for, covered..." Sounds almost like the death of a monk...
