Age & Time~
Thoughts spin a mystical web
around their counterparts
blending both sides into one unit
completing the circle.
Young eyes see the world
simplistically
no depth, nor shallow spaces
simple wavy lines
eXpand from "here"... to "there"
with no Question of
what is in between.
Ancient eyes see the world
intrinsically
with depth and shadows
complicated crossing lines
tie knots between "then" and "now"
with careful questions
of what is in between.

It says that your blog has been removed Paul.
DeleteThe line about young eyes is beautiful. Nice to meet you. Good luck with the challenge.
ReplyDeleteThank you Stacy - Yours was a sad story.
DeleteI'm forever trying too get my ancient eyes to see the things they did when I was young.
ReplyDeleteGood start to Challenge.
It was just this last year Bob, that I found my arms were not quite long enough to let my eyes do that.
DeleteI enjoyed my journey to Amberley Castle via your start on the A-Z Challenge.
Thank you for the visit.
Nice... what we see is who we are... or were?
ReplyDeleteGreat start... to the challenge "A" is for Awesome!

Nice to meet you too Teresa. I am enjoying your Grim Tales in the Rural Hood too :-)
DeleteThat's lovely. As I get older, I've learned that aging isn't for wusses! lol

Heheh, you are spot on for that one Donna. It takes courage to live life at any age, but aging definitely is NOT for wusses.
DeleteI love the line Ancient eyes see the world. Really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHappy A-Z challenge!
Thank you S. L. I have gone by and read your A-Z beginnings. I love the science fiction genre, and your post was a great way to kick off this challenge. Asimov... yes!

Thank you Jo. It's fun to get back to the poetry for a time. :-)
DeleteOh, yes. And it's in the in-between where all of the beauty lies.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed it is :-) Thank you. I really enjoyed your word play on today's blog, it was fun to read.
DeleteBeautifully written poem. I really enjoyed it :)

I enjoyed your anacrostic poem. That would be a difficult one to meet the requirements for. Perhaps I will attempt it AFTER the Zing of the A-Z. :-) Thank you for the visit.
DeleteWonderful!
ReplyDeleteThank you. For taking a peek at more than one, that is a treat for me :-)
DeleteLovely poem, and off to a great start!!

I love the way you have set up themes for your blog, it will prove to be a fun venture indeed!
DeleteI now have ancient eyes - and actually prefer the view from them than from my youthful eyes. Age starts to blur things around the edges, and life somehow becomes more comfortable.
ReplyDeleteMaybe when we quit paying such close attention to details, we can enjoy the overall picture Paula. Thank you for reading.
