Continuous Journey
With constant faithfulness
years added upon years
decades pile atop decades
I reach an age I used to call old.
These days, I drift into aging
ask quiet to become a friend
reside along matured memories
while being passionately present.
I feel as summer fruit,
still ripening inside my skin
and mellowing my heart
during my continuous journey.
Illia teaches Memoir Writing classes and presents Journaling Workshops locally. Liquid Light, a recent poetic publication about love during later years, is now available. .Herman Van Gansen, her companion, enhanced her poetry with his skill in multimedia arts. Her previous publications, Gracious Seasons, Along the Memoir Way, and Moments, also offer her poetic voice.
