Vanity is no exception
As everything in time must pass
A life time spent looking
Through a rose tinted looking glass.
Pale Angel face eyes shadowed
Lips ruby blue are out of sight
Silently slips through fingerless palms
Twilight embraces your night.
Tattered faded gowns of yesterday
Of silks, satins and swirls
Worthless trinkets and jewels
Fall from all tomorrow’s curls.
