Prism of Age

I wander
through childhood 
memories 

Kicking dust 
off feelings  
unexplored 
 
Perhaps now  
an old smile 
for young tears

In Sara's rules, she mentioned a tricube might leave the reader with questions and reflection ... from this, with my old smile, I'm looking back and wondering how I reacted to younger situations. Nice you can bring that with so few words. Well done.

This one touched a place of my inner being as I try to work through some times in my life that I can't really remember enough to know what my feelings should have been and even why they should be there. Thanks for sharing and for participating in my contest. Sara
