......

Tired, ancient eyes, what have they seen


In times hidden folds? The lines that surround


Them complex histories I long to decipher if


Only I knew the questions that might give voice


To the answers I seek, from a mouth that trembles


In a toothless smile whenever those eyes look my way.


 


Twisted, gnarled hands, what memories have they


Held between? Nails stained yellow from a lifetime


Of nicotine, they weren’t always thus, but once upon


A time pointed things out to me in quiet places of


Moss covered trees where sunbeams whispered fairytale


Promises and dragonflies danced on lily pads.


 


END


 


“Ageless”

Anno Domini... it never really applies to us or to those we love, does it - so it is a violent shock when we are perhaps forced to acknowledge its reality. You have painted and evoked a tender and heartfelt portrait here, George, which I can certainly relate to. My mother is now OLD and I have to take on board the implications of what that means: obvious, of course, but we can be blind to these things when we are so used to being in a certain relationship that does not take into account the physicality of who we are. And, yes, to some extent she remains an enigma to me and I wonder what will go with her to her grave that she has never been able to share - much, I think. On a more general note, this is a touching and respectful tribute, too, to the wisdom and experience of the elderly. TY for this, Kate xx

This is a fantastic write, George. It is so image full that the reader literally sees all of your words.
Take care,

George you are a treasure! I agree with Sue, methinks you have to be born with it, very few have it like this. Be thankful for your blessing and respect it. It will treat you as well as you treat it.

Love,Eileen
