I don’t need to look in a mirror
to see myself age
I can feel it in my cells
as if, my elements are nearing
their last molecular reaction
Or like the little bits that make me, me
have surpassed their half-life
and are well on their way
to elemental decay.
It sounds gross
Yeah, I know
but everything has a lifecycle
Even me.

Photograph is from Oahu, Hawaii -- shot on my last visit to paradise. This is of a Monkey Pod tree at a cemetery on the east shore of the island.
Very well written.

If life were a menu we'd definitely be on it. Maybe not as an entreé but at least as an appetizer. Molecular Reaction, that is quite an observation. We are powerful on words but are undecided if our cup is half empty or half full. Peace, Love and Blessings Always, Paul.
Your poem excellent and honest, I can relate,feeling it
is sometimes worse than seeing it;-)
But, You are ageless, I do believe!!
