Growth

Turning time and darkened footprints
Paved promises and lost calls
Wilderness songs and wishful thoughts
Arrivals at the common cause
The seasons merge and we wrinkle
Skin rooting deep into history
Sharpened eyes and tired fingers
Grasping for words or a fable

Time marches on and we grow old so fast. It is only when we stop to look back that we realize how much time has gone by and how wise we have become... This expressive write is an interesting one, Jeffrey. Very thought-provoking!
