Rewriting the Wrinkles

Posted on October 7, 2020 by Sue Vincent

beautiful Tintagel

Oh give me a life on the open road!

With my dog and a caravan..

Just my books, paint and turps and a canvas..

And skin with a leathery tan.

Oh find me a place on a mountain!

Where the clouds can come down to play,

And the cold stream can ripple with laughter,

And no-one to find me all day.

Oh give me a hole in a hillside!

A warm, womb-like, bat ridden cave,

And skyclad I’ll dance in the moonlight,

I grow old, but why should I behave?

Oh show me a glade in the forest!

Where the fae and the sylphs still abide,

And in the grove dappled with sunlight,

I’ll stroke the white hart’s snowy hide.

Oh find me a desolate seashore!

Where I can commune with the sea,

And learn all the songs of the moon tides,

And finally learn to be me.

Oh give me the richness of cronehood!

For maiden and mother I’ve been,

I want to rewrite all my wrinkles

Before I sleep under the green.

    Love, love, LOVE this! I think each morning I will ask myself, “Which wrinkle should I rewrite today?”

    Lovely, lovely Sue. And I suspect you will still be able to do some of those things – but maybe not a cave with bats!!!

    Says it all, Sue – lovely rhythm. May you dance on the moors when the heather is in bloom and the sky an umbrella of blue. Thinking of you often. x

    Huge hugs and loves to you – this is beautiful – and I’m working my way through archives, but Ani’s report and this and titles in the ‘feed’ have me diving into getting ‘caught up’ but wishing to the Universe all good things for you – <3. LUB from across the pond!
