My Besties
Today again they smiled at me…
They smile whenever I smile, mirroring my joys, my happiness and my ecstasy…
No pleasure or pain of mine is hidden from them, they tag along all movements of my face, however minute, however subtle…
They happened to be with me right from the beginning; but now, as time flies by; their footsteps become more profound and noticeable…
Sometimes dancing with my eyes, other times crinkling with my nose, curving with my lips...
They are omnipresent!
My besties, my confidants, my buddies in every prank or every mistake that I ever made.
They are etched in every small line of my face, more majestically around my caramel orbs, shrinking and expanding with every facial manoeuvre … stretching down gauntly beside my laughing mouth and extending towards my rumbling throat.
They are the sentinels of my joys and hardships, of my pain and pleasures, of my agony and bliss…
As I travel further than my birth date, they are my constant companions.
My soulmates, my WRINKLES!!!
They make my face curvy and prominent, defining my features and adding to it all the wisdom or follies that I have travelled through and about.
They let me know how much I have laughed and enjoyed the intricacies of life,
How much I have chatted incessantly about all things under the sun, whether banal, mundane or interesting,
How much I have Lived and Loved Life!
So, as a lover of Passion Fruit Juice, I would like to raise a toast to all the passions; whether positive or negative; that my crinkly lines encompass.
Cheers dear Wrinkles!!!!!!
