ancient


“And the one who was seated on the throne said, ‘See, I am making all things new.’” Revelation 21:5a

when
my bones creak louder
than the floorboards at night,
my eyes become so cloudy
i risk losing the words i love so much,
my ears seem to be stuffed
with more and more cotton
in each conversation,
my fingertips, toes, and feet
tingle as i move through the day,
remind me
you are making all things new,
even ancient me
