Mid-Life [277]

Mid-Life

         for Wordsmitty ✍️

In the moment
between enthusiasm and memories
three decades of Mid-Life pass
in a flash that keeps
inner fires barely burning,
and embers banked,
until a frisky breath-like breeze
passes over them
to warm numb flesh
and remind cold bones
that dawn still blooms
beyond twilight,
where night passes into the light
of another day, another life,
that begins anew with eyes wide open
and the joy of being
innocent once more.
