a wrinkled, athritic
shaking hands,
reached for a life
that had just begun,
though dimmed by
the adventures of time,
wisdom could be seen
in those dull greying eyes,
a toothless grin flashed
the joy of a new life,
a soft chuckle escapes
from the old sickly cage,
a dusk is ending but
a new dawn begins.
