Something

Something old - those photos faded now, seem strange and somewhat awkard, faces disappearing within past times


Something new will perhaps be so, for mere moments; time and technology in a fierce battle of existing and continuing. 


Something borrowed - does anything really belong? is anything even really owned? Food, clothing, rites and rituals


Something blue like the sky, which scientists report is not coloured so but only appears thus. Not to be confusing. So don't overthink it

    I enjoyed your philosophical take, Gillena. Old, new, borrowed, blue --- you make it all grist for the mill of change and perplexity, and so relatable. Well done.

    A philosophical take indeed, Gillena, and I like how you included all the lines from the rhyme. The youth of today won’t understand fading photos with everything recorded on their mobile phones, but I still treasure images I can hold in my hands, even if the faces are disappearing.

    I enjoyed this very much. "Fading photos" are a fading concept, yeah?

    Gillena, I like how you meander over the lines with lived wisdom.
