I sat on the metro train
A midst the red striped seats
Rocking to the clack clack
of the railroad tracks.

Looking at my phone
My eyes raised...

To a girl across from me
Sitting sideways
dark chestnut hair,
all of 23

A long green
lock of hair
Around headphones
Spiral threads circled her ear

In the corner of my eye
I saw someone smile
Across from the girl

There was you,
10 years older
Even perhaps 42

Your hair of spun gold
Delicate curls of sunshine
in contrast to the melancholy woman of youth.

Lost in the future
A moment of time
You looked good
Happy, Beautiful, with Peace of Mind

Caught in the moment, I glanced away
Knowing if I smiled back at you
You would be jealous
Today

I'd like to think someone could see me as I am and as I will be and like the both. *S* I certainly like this poem!!

I agree with suthern. We do get older, and older, and older, and...
Let's see where was I... Must be a senior moment.

I ain't old I just look like it...

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself.
Maranatha!
