A prose poem in exactly 50 words
In Pursuit of Magic
Although many reckless and impulsive romances may fail,
young women believe that after the psychic bruises fade,
and the emotional wounds heal,
there is always a chance to start over.
When we are older, chances for new beginnings run low.
Our remaining time calls for only the wisest choices.
And are we looking for different things when we are older? Somehow I find the idea of having friends as well as solitude important. That's something I didn't consider when I was younger.
Ah, but the magic never stops and "life goes on long after the thrill of living is gone." (John Mellencamp).
