An Acquired Patina

The years
               have
rough run over me
face bowed bent knee
earth bound
               corners ruffled
binding loose       am i
a papyrus seeker
                ink  thirsty
creative word      hungry
search for      sustenance


fill my pages
                wrinkled rough
read hard  tear washed
passionate
                purpose


       patina acquired

                               Beautiful
