A time of Age
a bomb
–
In the wind your cool adage
upon dusk
the sorrow of your dying light
–
In the specks of falling dust
your power, your might
–
Into their lungs, they inhaled it
Covet it
In copies and repetitions
They hate you, but you’re their religion
–
The sincerity of a pounding waterfall
The realization at dawn
–
You are the spawn
of the soul
you’re bold
your story told
the stories so old
–
In their reflection
they’ve totally forgotten.

I am? 🤣🤭. You are beautifully “distracting” no doubt 🤭🤭; but it’s actually interesting that you think I was teasing you and wasn’t just compelled to compliment your poeticism 👍😂🥰

Hahaa, I told you that you did a great job and that I liked your poem. I thought that’s just people do on a blog when they like something, but was there a specific way I was supposed to feel? 😄. I am curious 🤔🤔

Your vernacular is rather unique, it piqued my curiosity, most comments are rather like they were AI generated. Unless, you’ve been expelled from the AI Academy of Conversation. Hence, I feel compelled to reply as one also expelled from society in general. I hope that was clear. 🙂

🤣 yes it was, you made that perfectly clear, I actually chuckled a bit, and thanks for your compliment; I appreciate that alot 🤗🤗.
I was thinking that you were probably doubting yourself about the poem and thought that I was just teasing you that it was remarkable lol. But nah, I liked what you did with it lol

If you are too old it certainly doesn’t show 👍😂☺️. I hope that I am as youthful as you one day when I get too old haha 🤟😂🤣. And you are welcome; I appreciate that you were messing with me 🤭💕. We definitely don’t have to be serious all the time, so it’s good to have these moments 🌼👍🙌😄😇🌺.

Very well written – by the way, so many forget that age is a beautifying development and not a terrifying monster. Not even flowers start out as the prettiest highlight, it comes with age. 🙂
