A playful otter
Foraging the riverbanks
Of a life well lived

Sundown
Agitated amble
In a maze of memories
Sundowners syndrome
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #351: Sundown
Passing
Winged migration
Claxon fades on cool north wind
Passing of friend
For Catt

Chaos
I am not a fan
Of this growing old
The chaos in my cells
Little girl inside
Old woman outside
The aches and pains
Of an uncooperative body
While my mind still runs through meadows
Memories of 60 years like yesterday
To a time where aging was as futuristic as star travel
“I can’t wait to grow up…”
I am running out of time
“When I am an adult I will…”
There is so much left I want to do
When will I be an adult?
Whispers, “When I am ashes”
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #275: Chaos
Whisper
Freedom whispers…
Don’t stay in the lines
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #271: Whisper
Future
Now the oldest generation
I hear the umpire call
“Batter up”
In response to patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #260: Future
Vibrance
Memories
Sifting through lost memories
An entire life
Packed in a box
Bucket List
I whisper goodbye
As your hands grow cold in mine
An unfinished list
Locked
Inside looking out
Many phases of the moon
Her last loving hug
Locked in with her memories
Grandma sheds a single tear
Time is most priceless possession to the elderly. So to treat them as if their time is “less than” or to prolong taking precious time away from loved ones is intolerably cruel. Instead of the elderly ”taking one for the team” let’s work together so that families can reunite and be whole again.
Wear a mask, socially distance, wash your hands. Let’s beat this thing before it is too late for your loved ones.
