Rosy glow in old age appearing
as grip weakening
support in-flow slowing
appealing, cheering
in the weakness and bleakness
of autumn’s loss
and dross.

Contrasting images and emotions. Autumn is such a transition.

 

Nicely done, Rhiannon. Paul

Thank you, Paul. I kept thinking too of the blessing older people can be despite their weakness! Rhiannon
