young ash soul

Brightness shining through those eyes

a face like flower's thrive

body that health contain

only if the mirror can reflect my brain

i feel old, grey and blue

i'm more than my past age do

i am aware of what surrounds our sphere

in Earth, i have seen what people fear

i know pain, heartbreak and betrayals

i have seen who live in denial

i know politics, terror and war

i feel a hundred years old!

i am not alone nor special

i grow everyday carefully, i am a rival

ironically, i watch my image on the mirror

there are many years left and much to see

in an unfinished knowledge we shall all live.

A powerful, brilliant glimpse at the vision of humanity as seen through your eyes.. as felt in your heart... the painful, dark paint that too often covers the landscapes and mindscapes we live in... I only disagree at one point. I believe you to be very special. In a universe so filled with empty space, to be alive is a most wondrous thing. I believe your voice can show us how to live well.

Turmoil in your youth is one of the hardest things to bear , as you say it ages you . Yet poetry comes from sometimes deep dark places , shine a light , lovely philosophy.

Anyone can watch the world go by.It takes a poet to make note of the good the bad and the ugly .

[Michael Kevin Spencer]

Very philosophical again Aya, I like your style.

Where you live on the planet, I do not doubt that you have seen more, heard more, of life than many of us.

But youth is the time to truly open yourself to the world? I suppose.

[Aya]

sure yeah, thanks for reviewing

"Blessed Be"
