...a few of my favorite things (revisited with age)

Corrugated heart unyielding
Folded on itself too long
Unfurls to embrace a moment
Can't recluse--closes loose

Stretched-pale balloons filled tight with whispers
Suspended midway yearn to rest
Gravity, the fatal temptress
On the ground--can't rebound

An hourglass of falling virtues
Slowly seeming strained through time
Turning toxic through its passage
Flipped on end--renewed again
