Growing Older Flickering candlelight Reflected in the mirror Creating a dim glow Illuminating my face And as I look closely I see the beginnings Of creases and lines Which seem to imitate The soft waxen folds Of half melted candles Which burn behind me © 12/15/99 Gary Pence Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night. -Edgar Allen Poe |

Very good Gary. I really like this. The signs of age - the telling of stories without words. ...Give me the strength to walk the soft earth, a relative to all that is.... Black Eagle Oglala Sioux holy man |

Poet deVine - ROFL!!! I do need new candles! Munda - Thank you...I'm proud of every line and crease, I've earned them! John - Thanks for reading. We all have that mirror somewhere I think. childomine - Thanks for the beautiful comment, I never looked at it that way before. Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night. -Edgar Allen Poe |
