Our Own Design

Trying new things is not so hard. 

There was a time 

when the judgment of others 

became door stoppers 

and bolted windows. 

Imagined boundaries not be be crossed. 


As we pass each decade change occurs. 

Returning to childhood wishes and hopes 

with the maturity of age 

opens the windows and doors. 

Fresh air and new ideas swirl 

with the wind. 


Except ~ we live in our own ageism

until the excitement and fascination 

with creativity, colours and play 

take hold and let us enjoy life 

as we want it to be ~ 

a design of our own choosing.


“When the image is new, the world is new.”

~ Gaston Bachelard,  The Poetics of Space
