Against All Odds

Years upon years

of a hidden yearning

like a volcano smoldering

glowing hot.

 

Years upon years

wrinkles crinkling

mental cogs slipping

the step slowing still.

 

At an age near oblivion

who could foresee

that you would appear

from blackness of endless space

 

to stoke the coals to burning bright?

Red roaring raging fire

rumbling from the core

just waiting to erupt.
