Elders

Elders

You called them wrinkles
I knew they were actually timelines
Proof that you had weathered the test of eternity
That you held ancient stories deep within
Those trails, I traced
Like maps across your knowing skin.
Your hands
Swollen with grace
Said more about the heart of humanity
Than history ever could.
