POEM



The towhead girl

Now slow and greying

Feel the turning of the wheel

Hear wolves baying.

I left my dark haired child

In the forest to run wild

Under the leaves I moulder

As my body gets colder.

She will find her way

Her dark eyes alight

I will stay and guide her

In the frost of the night

As her fire kindles

I turn to bone

While my fire dwindles

This grey eyed crone.

Like your poem-
it's right up my alley.
For I too am "turning to bone."

Cheer up- we all share the
same fate, even angelena Jolee
and her boy toy Brad,
if that's any consolation.
The girl in the picture
and inside you
will always remain young.

I'd be honored to be conidered a time weathered, wise, story telling, and enigmatic old crone.

Kneener, there are countless women who would give their right arm to "grow old" like you have and still look so pretty!
