Perennial (An Original Poem)
they are fragile and bittersweet.
Soon they will be formless,
only a memory.
silver-haired and frail,
studying the shapes
of the clouds as they drift
past my smudged window,
to remember exactly
how it felt to be
on top of the world.
as I realize the universe,
it makes no mistakes.
is the perfect lesson,
in the perfect season.
to be read.
What better reason
to turn its pages?

Thanks for sharing this wonderful poetry and feelings with us.
Beautiful poem, I especially like the line"Life is a book that begs
to be read."
Thank you so much @lakshimi!
Fantastic work, here. You shift perspective rather well and the reader is certainly drawn in. That whole top of the world thing got me thinking. The world is a globe and there is no top really ... well Everest but the air is rather thin up there. LOL. It's all about perspective, isn't. Something most of us don't achieve until time has passed. Again, fantastic write.
Thank you!
