Dear Jessica Brennan,
Age bursts in
With a blast of winter
Where summer once burnt
And I wonder
When did you arrive?
Just a moment ago
I was dewy and sparkly
Ripe.
And I ponder
Who am I now?
My vibrancy has deepened
From pastels to ruby tones
My thoughts one time wispy
Have more definition
“Don’t get brittle”
I say to my heart
My stance
“Be supple, create, be generous, forgive”
My edges have become rounder
I hear you, and listen to me
And I realize a little elated,
I will never die young
Love,
Mum xo
