Life unfolds in pieces
Eyes enjoy the moonlit shine
Smiles of amazement never seize
Face sparkles with legends
Time standing by side
Shadows of pastures from past
Bloom the flowers in present
As future waits patiently
Under the open blue skies
Through the seasons of time
Walking through the darkness
Surviving lightening storms
Lived sunshine moments of life
Collecting morning dews
Watering barren lands
Sprouted grains of existence
Stories to tell are written with experience
Now wisdom smiles in words
Skin unfolds the history
Perseverance lives in eyes
Chapped lips speak of priceless advices
Feet have walked miles in all shoes
Capturing time in a bottle of old body
Life paints timeless beauty
Aged to perfection
With bold flavors
Zest in every drop
Timeless recipe patented
Old age sparkles in the glass of life
Toasting to the ups and downs
On time’s roller coaster ride
Taking through journey of a lifetime
Author notes
Graceful is what defines Old Age

Thank you for your entry in the contest with this very interesting poem on the theme 'Old', unfortunately it does not fit the criteria for the contest, that being Rhyme and Flow.
Please join us in future contests.

when you write you nature and spiritually poems i mean this is something amazing, keep it flowing and good luck in the contest, you always seem to make me think.

Oh what a great read this one is! And somehow, makes me feel a bit better about growing old...
As my son is so fond of saying, "your older than dirt mom
" hehe.
Great job on this one!
Best of luck in this contest!
and love
