we beg for the unmoving, unchangeable.

welling up with happiness for the surrounding beads of light
that scatter themselves across the velvet of my life
drowning in a sea of absolute horror
as i realize the world is getting this much older
fading tracks of winter's ruts
find themselves,
comfortably,
residing in traces of lust
set aside like notes on a table
the special find their hearts have nothing to label
fifteen pictures thus document my life
1 of an ocean
and the rest are lost
left, without a trace
as my hair fades into the divets of my shower
flowing freely
lost forever

    What a wonderfully well put expression of the desire to be ageless.

    This is full of images and packed with emotion. Not sure what is all adds up to, but, then, maybe that is part of your point. . .things change so much, we don't always have a way to make them add up. Very rich piece of work.

    I invite you to visit my blog and see my Rally entry at:http://elainedanforth.wordpress.com/2012/08/22/landing-like-a-cat/

    Happy Rally!
