An Aging Mind

Pacing the dust covered floor

Of an aging mind.

Where thoughts are gently covered.

 

I uncovered a few to view

Why they have languished

In  solitary for so long.

 

Their tranquility

Was of my making,

They quickly replied.

 

Well that's the part of growing old

And not having an active mind

That will stir things up now and then.

George, aging, no! Gracefully maturing, yes. You are only in trouble when you have an ancient mind. I liked this, a bi of truth and a bit of humor. I wish you love and peace my dear friend.. Jon Michael

I would hate to become unraveled in the dusty halls of my mind...I would run into too many dust bunnies of my long lost memories. Excellent write, George

The mind only ages if you wish it to...
It gleams wisdom along the way...
You just have to shake the dust out now and again...

Love and Light
