Autumn at 59

We are told that being old

isn't beautiful...

...that the lines etched into

our skin...

...the scars that mar our

bodies and psyches...

...must be fixed...concealed...

denied.

We're told the gnarled

features...

...the bent limbs shaped over

decades by relentless winds...

We're told that all flaws must

be corrected...

...that recapturing our beauty

is to recapture our youth.

the scars...

...the gnarled features

concealed...

...don't want to recapture a youth

I'm grateful to have left behind.

rough, imperfect features?

There is no going back...the only path

is forward...to embrace the imperfect,

the lined, the scarred, the gnarled, and

celebrate the beauty from within.

Why are the imperfections

embraced?

...and a lifetime of

experiences...

...we're told these must be

fixed, concealed, denied.

rains of autumn bring out the beauty

that lies within us?

Why am I not told to look

more deeply...
