I Was Young Again
With him I was young again
filled with giddy delight.
Becoming my teenage self,
I learned my body again as
sweet voices of his sisters
sang in the next room.
While I danced over my new lover,
his mind must have hummed
with the newness of it all.
My thoughts were of the
urgency of life at eternity's edge.
Missing even a second of this
would be a tragic loss.

Author's Note
Dear daughter. I miss you but I'm seeking pleasure with a frantic urgency right now. While staying with a friend's family recently, I felt transported to a younger time in my life with her oldest son. Do I look happy in my picture?

This was written by my mother, so not so young, though she can be a youthful mid-40s in spite of her recent struggles. I love your comment and will share it with her.

Fitting write on experiencing a few last hurrahs while the body is still able.
You do look happy! : )

Lovely to hear and see (in the picture) of you. Enjoy the company you have found yourself in.

This is one of the first poems I read on DU and is still one of my favourites. You have done a great job of capturing a specific moment and feeling.

Thank you for such a kind comment. My hope is that mother will be happy but more importantly that I'll see her again.

I have seen your longing to see your mother again through many of your posts. I hope that you can reconnect.
