Growing Older

standing proudly
the spotlight my favorite space

gleaming brightly
keys cool and crisp soon ablaze

sweeping motions
songs are warm like an embrace

growing older
youthful memories we chase

thinking back
rehearsal joy not misplaced

breathing deeply
embodying poise and grace

crumbling body
drifting to another place
