AGE

(Image courtesy: Carl Warner's photoshopped creations)

Footprints
On the sands of time carry
Experience
Between folds of skin

Wrinkles
Soften rugged terrains
Buried
In tenacious bones

Bound
Remains a landscape of events
Narrated
In sun-kissed scripts

Enclosed
In melanin sheaths
Wisdom
carries on the journey

For Kim prompting us: 

Verse First ~ The Body Becomes The Landscape
