The mirror of life clouds as the mist of
souls past grasps the beveled edge and
whispers of a worn path beyond the
thorns of regret.

A place once thriving with the energy
of youth, stockpiled within the embers
of a fire that raged, now dimmed by
the dampness of toils that bring to one
a gasp of weary.

Can this once have been the place
where rivers raged and mountains
whispered the beckoning call of
desire? Or, left alone to ebb until
the last rivulets snake amongst the
smooth stones of senility and
dementia as trembling hands comb
away the dust of a now dead fire
of passion.

Soon the moon shall wane above
the precipice and an owl’s cry shall
bring the curtains close in a place
where rivers once ran and waters
cooled the youthful step of yesterday
as tomorrow waits to latch the rusted
gate of heated breaths and longing
eyes.

Sheesh...talk about emotive...
You know, I have decided that each time you write...a little more "Mag"nificent spills out. Getting a towel.

I sighed a sad, soft sigh...

Not how I forsee my life. Any small ember can relight a fire and passion never dies. Believe me... Beautiful writing Mag. martyjo

Martyjo, I hope I make it past the dementia
and whatever else stage....that the passion
might always come out and play now and then.

Thanx for your reply.
