Still (2006)
By Mary Mikawoz

Giggling as if many years have not passed by
Amusing in the things that made them
    Laugh out loud
Without regard to who was listening

Laugh lines becoming permanent etches
    On the faces

Finding each other  rapturous
Despite the learned knowing
    Of Troubled Lives and Years
Still opening up the heart to dreams and
Enjoyments they once had
