The Book of Me

The Book of Me

Sixty-nine pages,
one for each year.
Some are smudged

vague, unreadable;
others deliberately concealed,
cloaked in secret.

Sixty-nine pages,
each leaf a fragment
of works and days

shrouded in mystery
between mundane chapters
beyond ordinary understanding.

Sixty-nine pages,
years of battles, scars,
memories, tribulations

cataloged in the library
of life, awaiting a fresh chapter
a new beginning, a seventieth page.
