Layers of Time
By Bobbie Troy
layers of time
lash across my body
like a winter wind
pushing
relentless
unforgiving
as if I deserved
a punishment
for aging
It's just poetry, it won't bite

So well said in so few words, and unfortunately true.
Bobbi, this one stings of utter truthfulness. Your vivid descriptions actually hurt, they are way too real. Wonderful write! Sandy
I immediately saw the vision of a person realizing their body is aging.
An awakening. Very good.
