Aged

in descriptive •  7 years ago 

She wasn't a mysterious old woman
She said she wanted something
The something was to give me advice
The lady leaned down
Her old hazel eyes were fixated on me
While I studied them I noticed the golden flecks in those hazel eyes
Flecks that showed youth rebelling against the woman's antique age
Her gray hair slowly slid off her shoulders almost reminding me of a snake slithering down the rock like bone structure of the old woman's shoulders
I looked down and noticed the lady's worn slippers shuffling nearer and nearer
The anonymous old soul inched closer and closer
With every breath she had she spoke the words that said, "Leave you worries behind dear, instead of your dreams" as if the woman had done the exact opposite
She smiled her crooked teeth, turned and left
