Ungracefully

in #poem6 years ago

We aged
emulating the adults
we would meet on our path
until we became them

Hips widened
and beauty leaked through
new wrinkles in our
previously pristine flesh

We were unaware that age
would not dispel uncertainty
or insecurity
only ease its acknowledgement

We aged
and a plethora of platonic kisses
bound the panic
on weathered flesh

Time go fast but getting older is not so painful if we see it the right way. Nice poem :-)

Wrinkles are biological phenomenon.The age of Mind is important not the physical age.It is just a number.Isn't it @pinkspectre ?

Great poem, body old is okay but our heart and mindset must be young :)
