Purple Thoughts On A Sunday Afternoon

Youth versus age;
weigh them in the scales.

Where lies the point of balance
till the one tips towards the other?

Only watch and wait;
for the scales may yet tip again
and the adult become child
before life reaches its end
and another circle is complete.

I never know what will surface when a  Mag pictures sets me off. Tess gave us one by Norman Rockwell today...

    Clever take on this one Jinksy. I like your thinking - 'for the scales may yet tip again ..' Well done.

    Interesting that you opted to alter the image. The age issue is more an issue these days as adult children reversing their roles with their aging parents.

    Thanks for coming by.

    I bet Rockwell would love to see how his image inspired you.

    The purple... wow.

    I just know the age that's "not really old yet" keeps getting higher...
    Nice!
