Eternity by Joan Walsh Anglund

From the book A Cup Of Sun

I shall be older than this one day.

I shall think myself young when I remember.

Nothing can stop

the slow change of masks my face must wear,

one following one.

These gloves my hands have put on,

the pleated skin, patterned by

the pale tracings of my days ...

These are not my hands!

And yet these gloves do not come off!

I shall wear older ones tomorrow,

till, glove after glove,

and mask after mask

I am buried beneath

the baggage of Old Woman.

Oh, then,

shall I drop them off,

Unbutton the sagging, misshapen apparel of age,

and run, naked and young, into Eternity!

This poem has been one of my favorites since I first read it in the late 60's. I was young then but it spoke to me. I make it a part of my birthday each year to re read this poem and ponder it's meaning and think myself young. After all is said and done our outward apparences may change and age but we are all forever young under the skin.
