Pages of our skin

A young soul is a new page,

The paper is smooth with no marks,

Its perfection is adored,

The naivety of what is to come,


An aging soul is a used page,

The paper is rough and marked,

Preserving the remaining beauty,

The future brings worry,


An old soul is a ruined page,

The paper creased and folded,

Torn, tattered, and despised,

Envious of the past,


Our souls are a page,

Our papery skin is vulnerable to change,

We attempt preservation,

As we fear the inevitable wrinkle.
