Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Pages of Time

Turning back
The pages of time
How the years
Have slipped away

It was like yesterday
Or maybe a whole life away
When the world
Was in its prime
Was it really that long ago

The inside not changed
But the shell unrecognizable
Giving away the years gone by
Our joy of meeting up dwindles 
To a sheepish awkward pause
An almost apologetic look
For what’s become of us

M. L. Kiser April 2, 2019 at 12:27 AM We grow, we mature, we change. Each line or spot shows a road we've been down; our life story is written in our face, body, for all to see. It can only help those who see to identify us as human beings. Line Gauthier April 2, 2019 at 6:24 AM Yes, and we should be proud. Vanity gets in the way. Thanks, ML.
