She looks upon the reflection of silver streaks,
softened curves, fuller shape and time-kissed face.
No longer the dark-haired beauty of yesteryear,
basking in the glow of youth, secure in the lure of her splendor
to draw them in, to find her way.
No sadness found within the looking glass.
Smile dawns upon the contented likeness.
Today’s confidence no longer coupled with façade,
rather from life-lesson, realization, & heart.
She looks upon the reflection of one she’s grown to love.
Song of the Thorn Bird

The Hidden Heart

- Crunchy Faux-nola? I am a hypocrite hippie...kinda crunchy...a girl trying to go green, but not always getting it done. In one hand I have organic fruit, essential oils, & apple cider vinegar, while the other holds a Whataburger #1 Combo on a white bun. I want to save the earth, eat naturally, go organic, and do all that I can to be a better human on this big blue marble...."the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak... the wallet run lows on cash...and there's only 24 hours in a day." I know I can do better, but right now that is my best. Living the good life with a side of crunchy faux-nola!

looking out
we see the differneces
lost in yesterdays gaze
occasionally todays
gets lost in the haze
walking towords tomorrow
hoping yesterdays image
and todays will catch up
by tomorrow
lovely words Lisa
Beautiful Lisa!... Sounds like someone is very content with what is..and not what is not...
very nice...as we age our beauty does not diminish it only changes form...and learning to love yourself is a great lesson to learn earlier than later.
As always...WONDERFUL!

Thx for giving me this link (in your comments on my blog.) Its lovely. (I think anyone of a certain age can relate to looking in a mirror and not recognizing the reflection for a moment. I'm glad your woman was content with what she saw. I felt myself physically relax a little.)
