She’s learned to juggle
Bills, appointments, household chores
Her life’s a circus

Hunting for fresh knowledge
Sorting fact from fiction
Solve the contradiction
Back to square one

Her
Hair was
Longer now
Soft and flowing
It draped over her
Shoulders, cascading down
Just like in her younger days
Everyone remarked how it looked
Like a pale gray scarf that kept her warm
They shed some tears as the casket was closed

Pale blue morning sky
Golden, copper, and bronze leaves
Crow spreads wings in flight

Clouds tipped in silver
Sky of blue ever-present
Mourning dove cooing
Clouds tipped in silver
Fluffy bottoms edged in grey
Middles cotton white
Sky of blue ever-present
Sun trades places with the moon
Mother Earth responds
Mourning dove cooing
Geese winging to daytime roosts
Robins search for food
