Reflections

© Chris Barry

I myself have not aged….
My body evolved with the passing of time
Each wrinkle a progression
Each line an expression
Revealing rewards for challenging times

Pacing steps now slow with a backbone humped low
Huddled in a wool spun coat delighting in a rainbow
Allowing my Spirit to revisit childhood dreams
As an old park bench becomes my safe haven
Daily befriended by an inquisitive black raven

The seasons now pass
As I glimpse of rainy days through glass
Each day rests with a night’s prayer
Aware of eyes looking on with a pitiful glance
While my thoughts mingle in another one of life’s dance

My Life betroth by quality
My heart reveals humility
Lead by thoughts of spirituality
All gracefully blessed with nobility
While my Spirit energizes youth internally
