Her Spirit

Published on by Susi Bocks
Inspired by Eugi’s Weekly Prompt – Ghostly, Sadje’s What do you see #52 &
VJ’s Weekly Challenge #117 – Except

my face in the mirror reflects
a ghostly reminder
this leathered skin
has endured hardships
just as she did

except

only her contentedness
beamed through
she was always glad to be alive
her adventures many and
her strength evident

as i remember her fondly
my weariness etches slightly less deep
i won’t allow my defeatist demeanor
to harshly pigment my day
thank you, gamma
