“Do your dreams remember Pasts?”

Once a year,
I count age on my fingers,
My mind plays,
Back the days,
A slow count, must not linger;
Mark the times,
Thoughts reminds,
Each year the count grows higher,
One more year.

Untrimmed nails ragged prone to grime gathers,
These stiff wrinkled hands where quickness does flee,
Not supple freckles but spotted leather,
Each count an epicedium for me.

Age is in the eyes...look at a really happy old person...look closely...their eyes are the eyes of a child....

Thank you, Sea
Glad you liked.

Thank you, Lady in White,
Pleased you could

Thank you, Sharon,
I look in to old eyes everyday,
Many too old to remember the child
Now returned to infancy.

Another year slipped on by,
with memories still bringing tears
celebrating all those lies,
yet placed on forehead, a kiss this year.
The morning after he came to me,
forgotten too late, I have become.
Some day I shall remain in mind
and will be someone's number one.

Hope it was a good day for you,

~Wynter

Thank you, Nakdthoughts,
A wonderful poetic response.
The day was like many others,
Almost Unnoticed and insignificant.
I’ve try to keep the tears limited to the count,
But it, as you know, keeps growing larger.

I too understand and relate all too well Professor Gloom ... you've captured these sentiments perfectly.  

Best wishes,
