Yellowed Mirror

Of age, understanding, and what it is to be human...

gaze upon antique image

eyes of now see all past

truthful tears are found

lines read of smiling joy

moments meeting wisdom

life realized on aged face

chiseled as a sculptor does ..nice job ...each line read brought just a little more appreciation your poem gives to aging ..and the value of wisdom ... kind of saw the face of an old Native American healer .. i am very grateful for this poem Berry .. nice work

that grey grizzled fizzog in the mirror is apparently me, what I've lost in good looks I've gained in experience, no choice really, good wee poemette,

[Chris Shaw]

Every line on our face reflects life's experiences. They reflect every emotion that we have had to endure, both good and bad. Same as our heart, except you don't see the lines, you just feel them. Nicely conveyed words.

Thank you for your review Chris...every person is a portrait of a unique life being lived.

[John the Baptist]

Brief, spare lines can often say more than wordiness. This one highlights a truth we must all face honestly. Well done.

Thank you for your thoughtful review John. When ever I look at the lines of age on my face, I tell myself that growing old can make us wiser...it always helps.
