Notes About The Poem

image from Daphne Martin

ETERNAL STATE

ETERNAL STATE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Brain cells fade like stars at dawn's first light.
Skin cells age, too, losing their youthful flexibility and might.

Hair cells, once proud, now surrender their strands, and
even their vibrant hues lose to time's unyielding hands.

So, why amidst this cycle do fat cells have a different fate?
No matter my age they seem to have an annoying eternal state.

Have you noticed how religious old folks become. Have to pause every morning, making certain that she is praying, has not simply lost her marbles, or has become possessed? Delightful fun poem you have penned here, Sara. A joy to read.
