Who Is She?
Poetry June Challenge Day 17
once upon a time she was a woman of steel strong and resilient now broken fragments
once upon a time her sharp memory was the mother of wisdom the aroma of her childhood tales wafted in air travelling along to distant places now she don’t even recall her name nor she recognizes her own children
once upon a time her hair was a shimmering black ocean now dull and lifeless marshmallow cream
once upon a time her skin was smooth and flawless now a frail layer of wrinkles
once upon a time that tight embrace of her firm arms transferred warmth to every soul now tremor and weakness overpowers
once upon a time her eyes were full of dazzling bright light reaching through the crevices of one’s dark soul to illuminate and make it bright and pure now cataract captured its light
Who is she?
A wonder woman fallen prey to old age
In memory of my Grand-mother
