Howz yer geezering goin’? I spend more time these days pondering the Aging process. Cause… I’m aging. dah… My youth drains from my body and the youth of me continues to flourish within me. Wisdom is gathered with the living of decades, and yet to be full in the experience of being young and finding your way to your own wisdom. It seems it would be nice to have alllll this Wisdom and not have to look at the sagging, wrinkled, gravity on your ass, Old geezer thing going on. Finding fairness in the aging process is not always an easy thing.
The mirror must be lyin’
That old wrinkled brow
That turkey neck sag
Those broken veins
and those clouding eyes
Not the girl that lives
inside of me all a glow
Fresh face with a twinkle
in eyes that miss nothing
A body lustful,hungry
Filled with possibilities
that have forever to happen
The mirror is lyin’
Cause what I see doesn’t
meld with the girl that
trembles within for
the pleasure that her youth
gives story to for the telling
That’s not an old woman there
in that mirror of illusion
Behind those wrinkles and fade
is the girl, my girl, that girl
full of life, curiosity, enthusiasm
full of Spirit that hold up her
Cup of life, full and pouring.
