Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

The Equator of Life

She steadily marches along the equator of life
Optimism and hope parading along beside her trying to catch up
I sigh, recognizing my youth, but unable to grab it back
There is such contentment and love, I want a piece of it.
Do I have the impetus to snatch it back?
I fear not.
I watch enviously as she strides along the equator
Living her dreams of sun and surf, of love and hope
Optimism is still trying to catch up.
I turn away, for she is too beautiful to watch.
I know optimism will soon join her in her quest

L Milton Hankins May 22, 2022 at 10:03 AM I love people who do this, Caren. People who "march along the equator of life," who live their dreams. I think you are that kind of person, also. Caren Krutsinger May 23, 2022 at 2:04 AM I do my best now - I really do!
