Wrinkle Twinkle

Pictures of faces with wrinkles and smiles
Pictures of faces with wrinkles and frowns
Of old cities and wrinkled buildings
Majestic, and wise - profound!

Stories scattered like dust in a storm
Particles of love and sadness and hope
Meaning in moments and meaningless time
Balancing on the illusionary rope

Carved on stone and faces and life
Etched for ever on the soul of the world
Every word ever said will vibrate in space
And in 4000 years it will be heard

I resonate in silence and then I think
Am I too tiny in the 'larger than life'
Or am I one with all that there is?
And is all life not 'larger than life'?

And then I sing songs again
of love and love...

Pictures of faces with wrinkles and smiles
Pictures of faces with wrinkles and frowns
Of old cities and wrinkled buildings
Majestic, and wise - profound!
