"Awakening with Purpose and Joy"
Acrylic done on canvas
I missed Sunday Scribblings on Aging, so here's a short poem for that prompt!
My Age
I deflect age
By awakening
With joy
And purpose
Some days
Small
None the less
Relevant
Stripped
Of vanity
Swathed
In humility
Age
Wisdom
Fortitude
And gratitude
Awaken
My bliss

Aloha Sherri,
I love that with age comes wisdom, the wisdom to know what to do and the wisdom to sometimes not do it..lol
It's being 50 and only half way through life fun?
peace, bliss and happy days, Kai
Beautiful! You are truly growing as an artist!

Ah! Do you have any idea how good it is to be back and able to read you again? I don't think life is supposed to be this busy when you get older, but maybe it is because I'm trying to do the same amount as when I was younger and keep adding on.
It is just so nice to stop by and read a neat poem.
My joyful blissful friend! Your poem says it perfectly! Because of your wise advice in finding .. 'the secret' .. I wake with gratitude everyday and am feeling more fulfilled!
thankyou from the bottom of my heart! xox

Perfect poem for this prompt. I really liked the action images: swathed, deflect, awaken.
Happy weekend!
Such a beautiful poem! And I love the image you chose to go with this post.
