LOOK AGAIN


I am showing age around the eyes.
Time tells my mirror no kind lies.
I wear a mask, with twin black coals.
Sixty years shadow deep, dark holes.
Instead, look deep in these blue-green seas,
then sail with me, enjoy the breeze.
Time's hold is but a mind's cruel clock,
but vision-dreams can pick that lock.
