The rose bush in my childhood’s home
is blooming.
I didn’t know they lived that long.
I’m hiding behind it
thinking like the child I once was
As if fifty years had not passed.
Laboriously I straighten to stand again

Makes me think of a song by Kate Bush called "Under The Ivy." Beautiful imagery of time passing.
