Poem: Twilight is still Bright

A new transition
from mother to elder
but a young woman
still lives
within my breast.

There's so still so much
I want to see and do!
Where did the time go?
How much of it wasted?

The young ones need me
safety and stability
in a world that is
so uncertain.

No one else knows
the path I have trod
but that road is
not yet closed.

Don't need to be bound
by the old traditions
Share the knowledge you have
and accumulate more.

No need to be resigned
and wait for death
when there is more
to accomplish.
