. This kiss And the next And the next And the next Something Has happened White hair In the mirror Perhaps Some doctor Has told her Beauty is not forever Or a priest reciting Dust to dust Looked her in the eye Through The window I can see The sky is bruised And again there are clouds Heralding the coming Of another layer of snow Ah well Whatever the reason It’s good to be warm On a night like this Close the door And come inside . |

Hah! Yes indeed, close that door. Great exercise in the realization of suddenly finding out that the years has left their mark. Nice work. ~ Some people are like a Slinky -- not really good for anything -- but you still can't help but smile when you shove them down the stairs. ~ |

"Through The window I can see The sky is bruised" ...nicely done...perception, reality...and the very blurry line between them...nicely done |
