Still Life

I am a misguided ancient soul
lost in my own time
like a memory of something that
never was
a young girl inside
an old woman
with desire to live and
the sadness to die.
I carry in my mind the canvas of
a fleeting life
in my heart the frame of
an eternal death
A still life painting hanging on the wall.
