You will be older than me one day (Part I)



The toll of aging ain't that amazing but once you pass the bridge and within you settle in Your image in the mirror will no longer feel like the observing thoughts of first impression knowers and instinctive survivors that actually are scared predators

your past impressions, your apprehension of what your youthful beauty awoken in others Was not you|Your beauty didn't make you and is no longer valid Who are you when all of them close their eyes go to sleep the eternal sleep . . . Who are you Go back and remember the faces that admired you Were they happy all along or as soon as you entered the room and they lay their eyes on you they shined? Can you recall? Did they perhaps let you know how they miss the time they were young? Maybe they also remembered the people that admired their youthful beauty . . .


The toll of aging ain't that amazing but once you pass the bridge and within you settle in!

The last two pieces I have read of your writing have really spoken to me today! I ponder this often now... Once the view no longer pleases it boils down to the personality, the soul within, which personally I find much more attractive... But that isn't how we are trained to think is it? I think the older a woman gets, the more beguiling she becomes with all her lines, scars and wisdom. :)

I prefer the older me, she has humanity in her eyes and I disagree, I think age still makes heads turn, it is how you are the way you walk - I am still of no great age but I feel better about myself as I age, I still make mistakes - I enjoyed contemplating this - I think too often youth is arrogant, to quick to judge on superficial and of course they don't realisee it until a few years have passed lol

Frankly I've been thinking about this, looking at my grandmother and comprehending the fact that someday I'll be a gran meself!
Thought provoking and insightful prose.
