Mature women
singing
spending time remembering
yet still making new plans
deciding what is healthy
what is worthy of the dance at hand.
She turns around
seeing days have slipped by
pauses
reflects on mistakes
reflects on the positives as well.
She grows into understanding
her own person
her own song.
She turns around
listens for the orchestra
yes it is still playing
and she sings:
I am not music without lyrics
I am a woman
of substance.
I have thoughts that I pursue
that speak volumes
age has brought me knowledge.
I have lists of things I’ve learned.
I embrace my worth
and no longer fear saying so.
I am not a hot flash
sweaty without warning
that is just a symptom of change.
‘Tis true
I was feeling so fresh
pretty even
then my body reminded me
that I am human
I am a woman
and I say, yes!
Aging?
Yes.
And yet…
I stand steady
looking toward possibility.
Ohh yes!
Ready to understand my inner being better?
Oh yes indeed.
I am not music without lyrics
I am the song I always knew I could be.
I am the dance I dream of.
I am an artist
one who creates
be it cookies or a garden of flowers
be it paintings that line the walls of
beautiful older women galleries.
I create
be it a gratitude journal
blogs on line
I continue on and feel my own worth.
Mature women?
Keep singing
continue on
they create their own lyrics.
They know the song
they understand the tune
because it has become them
and it becomes them beautifully.
