A Silhouette Doesn'T Age

I saw Judy Collins in concert last night… her melodies once again soaring to the stars proving angels never lose their voice… no matter how old they are. And I remember thinking to myself As she, smiling, took the stage how I listened to her when we were both younger before our youth was replaced by age. There came time…I think it was late in the show but I really can’t be certain when she set down her guitar sat at the piano and a lone spotlight threw her silhouette upon the curtain. And I remember being overwhelmed not only with her presence on the stage but with the fact…when you stop and look a silhouette doesn’t age. And I smiled as I sat there it’s a moment I’ll never forget as an older Judy Collins sang with her younger silhouette. And I felt blessed to have seen her from both sides now from young…and old…and still somehow this is the illusion I’ll recall how her silhouette showed no age…at all. And though she’s 80 years old now a fact time won’t let us forget… to me she’ll always be… and sound like her younger silhouette.
