Precipice

What am I to do?

IMG_3135

What is the purpose that

I have been given?

 

Later years.

Children grown.

Motherhood tucked in like

A blanket.

 

My days are full.

Busy work.

Shopping.

Errands for others~

Others with jobs.

Careers.

 

My time

Worth little to others

Priceless to me.

Heavy with threat.

 

How many days

Left to explore?

Play?

Create?

 

Sickness

Hangs over.

Thick stormy clouds.

 

 

Will the torrents pour?

Wash me away

Before I am ready?

Or…

 

Will the Winds

Blow them over

Leaving me to bask

In the sun

 

For a while longer?
