A friend invited her on a social network page called ‘women in midlife and older’. She had crossed mid-life two decades ago yet a flood of thoughts came in waves. Her first thoughts were “I was reborn at 45 or was it… finally awakened from a life of “should’s and if only’s”
lazy morning rise
awakened by a deep sleep
crossroads at midlife
midlife crisis
G-d’s gift for second chances
spring cleaning and loss
She remembers trying to write her story from birth to the present not realizing it was never her tale to tell. It was all a dream belonging to too many characters and her true “self” started much later.
MIDLIFE
rousing at sunrise
shedding dreams of should’s and if only’s
midlife morning dew
wakened from a dream
filled with “should’s and if only‘s”
midlife mourning due
