I find them in the most unusual places
Little pieces of me I must have left behind
I wonder why they stopped where they did
How they settled in the forgotten cracks
Was it on purpose, or was it I no longer cared?
The particles of my life I chose to leave
Not wanting to be remembered for what was
Rather, what is, and what lies ahead
A glance in the mirror shows a different face
I battle the days when age is not a number
But a feeling, of weary bones, and creaky joints

As I amble down the hallways, through time
A cobweb, seemingly misplaced inside

Soft is the twilight that lingers so calm

Reflections of beauty, becoming my balm

I breathe in, relax, reenergize my thoughts

Into the night, I can forever be lost

For this is the time, my time, to renew

And these are the visions I bring into view

Waters that flow, without causing a wake

The sky looking down, as one with the lake

Pastel, the colors that soften the day

This is the place my soul longs to stay
