Lines On My Face

The words that I write flow from a deep place The lines I express mirror the lines on my face Some lines are joyful other lines took their toll Yes the lines on my face on the page reveal my soul I love my laugh lines they are my fast friends I can be a bit cheeky or sarcastic, it depends My love lines are softer around my eyes they reveal To the page when transferred they let you know how I feel Some lines are more tragic they are my battle scars I share lines on pages instead of drinking in bars Joyful, sad or happy each line expressed is true My expression as a writer I choose to gift to you Yes, all the lines scribed mirror the lines on my face They help me to navigate through my mind space Lines that reveal wisdom are not pretty that’s true They should be heeded please listen to them too Then choose to reveal some lines of your own I’ll see the lines on your face and know that I’m not alone!

WoW! Richard, What a deep yet relatable write. It had such depth but I see some of myself within your write. I think you just put "you" on a page. What I see is such a kind soul. Thanks for sharing such a write:-) Alexis

Our lines and "battle scars" are beautiful, because they remind us that we survived! This piece is fantastic, my friend... an instant FAV for me! ;)

Nope! Not alone. Give me another year or two and my face will look like a World Map. I have mountains, valleys, deserts, and new softer places. Ahhh IF ONLY these could be replaced by GPS. Lol. Lot of living on this end too. Revealing my history and telling that I’ve lived by the lake or sea (too much of our star)! THIS WAS FUN!
