I accept them.

growing deeper,

longer,

more vast

day by day.

When it is hot,

when I am tired,

when rushing has been more

predominant than rest.

they show up more

easily

deeply.

today I accepted them.

for the rest of my life.

if there is a price for living in

a Sun drenched world

with a smile on my face

then this cost

is worth every new

crease.

squint lines.

allowing me to see more clearly

the reasons for

smiling.

in love. trish
