Wrinkles

I don’t spend a lot of time in

Front of mirrors so I seldom

Notice any subtle changes

Written upon cheek or brow.

Time digs deep upon its canvas

Painting furrows line to line.

Signs of wisdom, silent witness

Tended with a painless plough.

You won’t find me bent with caring

Wrought with anguish,

Quashed with woe,

Fearing for the reaper’s harvest,

Knowing that the end must come.

Every ending has a new beginning

In the next dimension.

Every step is one step closer to

Rekindling nature’s womb.
