day 362 ~ daily prompt

By Kat Myrman

What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?

Mr. Bean, age 24 years, hates getting photographed. He ruffles his feathers and hides when I pull out my phone. Smart boy!
long in tooth
.
gray 
thinning hair, smile
lines,
soft belly, pale skin
the mirror tells a morbid story
one foot
in the grave, clock ticking 
but my soul knows no age
she twinkles
from my clear blue eyes
that girl with big dreams, still reaching,
taking up space like she owns the place…
she’s earned it, every inch

I tried to take a break from the news today. It has gone from bad to worse. And it never stops! I am outraged by recent events as the truth breaks through the lies. I plan to stay the course. To use my voice. And on that note, I caught a few seconds of Gabby singing the song of her tribe. In this world of liars, be a Gabby, pure, fearless, and brave as only a tiny little pint of a dog can be.

Much love, peace, kindness, and glimmers to you!

One more glimmer…you know you need it! Tonight’s beautiful, beautiful sky. As I gaze at the stars I imagine you, dear reader, looking at those same stars. Here’s looking at YOU! 💚😊💚
