"The Show Must Go On"

 

We are trying our hand at a FLASH55
OURS IS...

Her age is showing,
though she doesn't see
what matters is the show ...
dusty memories of youth,
dried bouquets of applause,
pealing the curtains of time,
she swirls the dance of ages,
singing folk songs of old
to the spirits guiding her,
one more delicate curtsy,
colors fade to black...


YOUR TURN
ENJOY

    I felt the pull of Sunset Strip and the idea of Judy Collins/Joan Baez/Joni Mitchell growing older, still singing folk songs with great depth and while not those amazing sopranos deeper now with wisdom, richer texture and beauty. Lovely work and evocative! Gay
