I Write Upon the Mirror
I write upon the mirror of youth’s pizzazzy.
Stunning, clear, ravishing - the Spring of life.
Enjoy the pure lilt of her eyes.
She can handle close-ups.
Boys praise unblemished frame with no experience.
Tan-Summer glow draws herself a husband.
I write upon the mirror of my Autumn brand.
Her wrinkles letting go of each pretense.
Wine cascades into grateful cup,
dispenses with the lies.
Snuggles with spouse - let’s go of bitterness and strife.
Frees herself, uninhibited, jazzy.
I write upon the Winter mirror of esprit.
She’s looking forward to the afterlife.
With tears in eyes says her goodbyes.
Endearing - the close-ups
of kith and kin warmth. See! There’s no need for defense.
Tell heaven, her life has been grand.
