Pleasantly Circling the Drain

My Pleasantly Decaying Orbit

as time becomes heavy

as age begins to weigh

  

memories become paintings

memories become stains

  memory it dissipates

   

I am not afraid of losing these things

I am excited over what I might gain

 

as the beginning becomes further

as the ending becomes nearer

   the pictures become clearer

 fear begins to dissipate

as the stains fade into paintings

 

the weight begins to lift

the painting begins to make sense

on the way down, this uplifts me

 

I will become lighter as I sink

I know the weight now, it doesn't matter 

perhaps it never did

Embracing life's changes, and welcoming the unknown journey ahead with acceptance and lightness. This is the message i get from your poem. It's a good message.
