grew older
when I wasn't looking.
I don't know if my mortality
frightens me,
or if I am afraid
because I now recognize
countable years
within you?
I remember...
I remember....
Images of you yesterday
are vivid and clear.
When did you change?
When did you
grow older?

Wonderfully said. All of a sudden one day it occured to me that my parents and all of their siblings were gone and I am now THAT generation...the last one in this age span. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteWhen I look back at photos of my parents and see their progression through the years, it's humbling. I'm nearly where they were in those photos.
