Rising – a poem by Paul Vincent Cannon

Photo: found on pinterest.com

“Your wrinkles reflect the roads you have taken, they form the map of your life.” Diane von Furstenberg

Rising

You don't write
but your skin is a journal of
everything you ever felt,
a lace of vast connections,
those once golden tresses
now silvered wisdom
lighting the path,
the angst of youth now
poised and comfortable in 
inevitable uncertainties,
you beauty, like a phoenix,
rises from life,
if I told you this you'd smile
that unbelieving smile.

    You have a wonderful heart. It is exposed with your words. Thank you for sharing yourself so openly. It is rare in this world today.
