This morning I look
At my face in the mirror
I see the wrinkles
Like clarity of pure water
The beauty of growing old

Creative and inspirational writer of stories, poetry, and haikus I am also an addictive reader of novels, poetry, haiku, and children's storybooks. I am the author of SOUL POETRY a book of inspirational poems, verses, and quotes published by Partridge India (2015) The Maker of Miracles (2006) published in the USA by Dorrance Publishing and My Journey with God (2008) published under the banner of Sai Towers, India is the narration about my spiritual journey. My new poetry book INK Echo of life and love published by Éditions de L’Ocean Indien (2019) in Mauritius, my birth country is a collection of love poems extolling the feelings and desires of women. The Princess and the Crow is my first storybook for children, released by Austin Macauley Publishers London in March 2019. Two years later, I was inspired to write and published two other books - WAKASHIO, a storybook for children, and PINK MOON - AN ANTHOLOGY OF HAIKU POEMS. I love to write. I guess my writing has a special cliché of island 🌴 life, natural, unpretentious, and full of beauty. View all posts by Anita Bacha

Thanks a lot, Michael. We were given the prompt word ‘clarity’ on X by our host Dr.Anish Gupta to write a short poem.
It crossed my mind that wrinkles come with aging. You and I have reached the ability to see beyond the surface and understand the deeper meaning of wrinkles.
Have a nice end of the week, my dear friend.
