Ancient heart

July 5, 2026

Ancient heart,
wise eyes.
Wrinkles here and there but no surprise,
ancient heart all laughter and smiles,
sat in a rocking chair upon a porch in the sun.
A happy face,
a memorable one,
and as we pass the vision of her happiness,
over the rest of the day it continues to linger on,
and my journey with her spirit in me,
it carries on, enjoyably on.
