My Monday Metrical Musings #278

wrinkled hand of elderly person touching soil

Golden Skin

It glows it glows
My reptilean hand
A shimmering orange
Thanks to the stain glass filtered light
Piercing into the chapel

Such a golden glean
With blotches of white skin
Sprinkled lightly on my reverse palm
Who knew aging would diversify
My skin. My look.

Beguiling.

Golden skin.

Be it this chapel or anywhere
Golden is heaven
Yet I can’t help but feel
Like my old mom
Tick tock tick tock
My time is rapidly gone

This glow not my flow
Youth I wish not to let go
Is gone now

Golden. Silver. Bronze.
Not the Olympics
But the Oldlympics.

Life.
