Faded Flower, Ripened Fruit

How you sounded then,
and how you sound now.

How you walked then,
and how you walk now.

How you looked then,
and how you look now.

But what you know today,
and didn’t know then.

And how you now think,
but wouldn’t back then.

And how you now see,
but couldn’t before.

Oh, how you shine
a different light
now.

  1. Simplicity, seemingly effortless depth with flow and rhythm combining in a perfect thought: a beautiful poem!😊❤️

  2. LOVE the ebb and flow……of words and ideas and perspectives! (like a wave on the shoreline itself). Bee-u-ti-ful!!!
