Age… by Toni L.A. Cross

Age is a sly old stranger

who comes at the close of the day

Age is a regular charmer

who begs to come and stay

Age is like the furniture

you know him like your stairs

Age is a sly old stranger

he’ll catch you unawares

youth… fragmented thoughts by Toni Cross

 

 

naked
so bare
vulnerable
exposed

 

yet
not afraid
young
innocent
naive

 

poised
taking flight
free
complete
whole
