Aging Poem by LeeAnn Azzopardi

Aging

Rating: 5.0


In the slant of an August morning
The light opens my eyes to being
One day older-
And soon, the emptiness will increase
To the desire of wanting to
Get Out-

Yes the long and cruel inevitable road of ageing, it hits us slowly, like a leaky faucet, then slowly the flood of the years is worn on our skin and our bodies. You manage to convey all levels of what its like to grow old. A keeper.

One day more mature Gathering more blessing Sowing more hope And reaping more bliss Days add on Giving meaning to all emptiness That hover like hawks Just need to dig out Treasures yet to be discovered. Beautiful poetry.

Hey, you're just a kid compared to me! Hang in there! 50 is not old at all! My oldest daughter is older than you are! Don't even think about " getting out" ! Survive, Girl, survive!

August morning shows the heart of growing up not to big, to old.... but to decaying the existence, the substance of life.......
