Your time is now
Be comfortable in your skin
Skin bears the marks of experience
Be at home in your body
Bodies change like earth’s landscape
Your mind will play tricks on you
To see if you’re paying attention
Love will blossom in new ways
Learn well the rhythm of your heart
Your choices are yours alone
The path is uncertain
Youth is fleeting

Love the way this flows both ways, and the profound messages you get across in so few words. Great topic for an inverse! “Skin bears the marks of experience” is a fantastic line but also such a healthy way of looking at the world. Well done👏😊
Ohh, nice one!
Beautiful and inspirational 🥰
This is intriguing! I’d almost like to try my hand at a similar theme but don’t want to steal your ideas. Very cool!
Reads well both direction, good idea youth to age and vice versa. We seem to blink through each stage. One minute one, the next the other. Great poem.
Excellent. It works so well.
Well done 👏
Nicely done!
Very well done!
You executed this perfectly! It reads so well both ways! I loved it!
