Aging (troiku)
Aging
does not produce wisdom
…just, awakenings
Aging
humbling way to say
I told you so
Does not produce wisdom
without the right
nourishment
…just, awakenings
emerge humbly when
… shit happens

seeking
in her reflection
answers
seeking
enlightenment
in liquid essence
in her reflection
a mirage, or –
reality
answers
locked in the prison
of her mind

catching a view
that age old promise
walkin’ the beat
trying to reach the top
…just keep on walkin’

Written for The Secret Keeper’s prompt: view walk promise beat old
Inspired by a poem I wrote earlier in free verse
Walk don t run free verse on meditative reflections Free Verse
walk
take your time
walk
do not climb
walk
do not run
breath in
breath out
walk
take your time
don’t beat
the clock
reaching for the top
walk
take your time
in the end
you will
get a view
crossing over
walk
take your time
breath in
breath out
seeking,
longing
that aged old promise
everlasting life
walk
take your time
breath in
breath out.
