Lines

            Lines on my face are drawing deeper.
      In those lines are secrets I keep -
of love lost,
         earned,
                learned.

I don't fear those lines any more
that show
age,
rage,
and score.

Tracks to my soul, my heart
evidenceof my life's chart
on parchment I can't erase
drawn deeply on my face.
