Second Act

Folder: 
And Time Goes By

Sifted, harmonious thoughts,

a thousand variations of

my life, as I shift into second act.

Colorful paper links are left in

the dust of stage debris.



Now in new attire, new womanhood,

old beaded curtains and peace signs

hang in my mind, unwilling to be

dropped by the wayside like old

discarded jeans.



The sweet scent of giggle weed

still lingers in dreams of then,

and like frozen lightening,

I dance for all the memories

of those days.



But a woman and her time

are not always one,

and ahead of me is the skyline

of a new era.

The stage is set, the air

refreshing.



I enter the second act

of a life well lived.
