Written 4 May 2026 for 1469 Poetry Contest sponsored by Brian Strand
clear wrinkles of time stories etched on feeble hands~ life's soft, silent chime grey hair slowly fall a journey hard, well- travelled~ canvas on the wall distant laughter gleams echoes of a vibrant past~ memoirs flow like streams Sunlight dulls the eyes wisdom surfs in the brain~ gazing at the sky breath is slow and rough strings of pains begin to sting~ the journey's end is tough.
