Old Now



Sometimes, when I wake up in the morning, my thoughts are clear and clearer,

 The first recognizable thought is "I'm old now."

 Old

 I find wisdom in age, I find less anxiety, more acceptance.

 Crow's feet land on my eyes; light sketches line drawings.,

 Older

 I recall seeing the newly discovered,on back pages.

 More things mean less daily,

 Still others mean more nightly,

 Oldest In rooms I enter, I'm often the most experienced.

 At what? I take the time to find out.

 Yet my experience hardly encompasses anyone.  Do I appear an other?

 Is any deep-rooted truth with me?
