Sonia Walker Poet Alliteration

Twilight Has Entered My Life

Twilight  has entered my life,
realizing that the aging process 
is real and not to be shelved
and put away for someone else
to contemplate about.

Twilight has entered my life,
like the sun setting into obscurity,
a decline which is not obvious at first, 
but gathers momentum until it rises
the next morning after dawn.

Twilight has entered my life,
accepting this as a process,
no choice in the matter only to 
keep writing poetry and face the 
words with a wrinkled smile.

Line Gauthier April 7, 2018 at 6:02 AM I'm feeling it, Sonia. Poetry is at its best in our twilight years. So much accumulated wisdom!! Line Gauthier April 8, 2018 at 4:29 PM Me too, so I know how you feel. We earned each and every lovely wrinkle. I remember looking at my grand-mother's wrinkles and thinking they were beautiful. If we could only be so kind to ourselves. Line Gauthier April 8, 2018 at 4:29 PM Me too, so I know how you feel. We earned each and every lovely wrinkle.

It is time to face the words with a wrinkled smile. Thank you, Sonia
