Reading You
I lost count
somewhere along
the laugh line and crow’s feet
each crevice like a roadmap
directing me to the story of your life
I could almost read them
with my finger tips
as if I were reading braille
each line I trace
turns another page in your book
I could lay here and read you for hours
flipping through the pages
of the best story I ever read

I could lay here and read you for hours
flipping through the pages

When I was in university, many years ago, we did a project. We recruited older people and painted each line on their faces. It was very revealing, the different masks that were produced.
Our lines tell others who we are and how we have lived.
Wonderful poem.

Thank you, I always felt each line is a well earn line, like you paid your dues. :)

I love the book reference here,
and the crow feet, and the braille.
I love all of it.
Very well written.

Usually the real person is in between the lines and the words not written. Like this! :)
