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
