Confetti of time

photographer Rosie Hardy



a phantom of myself
blowing away cobwebs of time
I ponder in  midst of confetti
scattered by unknown forces
I'm not getting any younger

I am lost in 14-inch TV

I need some air...such a tiny space. Thanks for playing along with the Sunday 160.

You capture a moment preceding conscious change—questioning of growing older and being in time.

How many words we leave like scattered confetti upon the unknown forces/faces.

Gautami,

As I have said so many times, it is pleasure to read you. I liked Walk the Past and this one the best out of pending ones I read.

Take care
