Watching Snow at Advanced Age Hsu ChiCheng

A pile of white hair …
Is it?
I feel misty of eyes.

I cannot believe it.
I identify it carefully.
No mistake.
— A pile of white hair.

But, here and now, is it possible?
Still I cannot believe it.
I step forward to identify it carefully.
Still no mistake.
— A pile of white hair.

But, here and now, is it possible?
Still I cannot believe it.
I rub my eyes, and again I identify it carefully.
Still no mistake.
— A pile of white hair.

Identified for three times.
And I have to believe:
It is a pile of white hair.
Just now I must have been dim of eyes.
Alas, winter is here!
Suddenly I tremble under a spell of coldness …

Watching Snow at Advanced Age ~ Hsu ChiCheng ~Brilliant! I love this poem. I actually came close to tears reading it, with the feeling it evoked in me as I've experience my own unbelievable at times, winter of age. Just yesterday I was a child... thank you for sharing this poem which reminds me of one I once wrote:

THE YEARS THEY DO BEGUILE!
© All Rights Reserved

How on earth did this happen,
That this year I’ll be forty?

A month ago I was a child,
Carefree and wild!

A week ago I was a teen,
Alive and keen!

A day ago I met my lover,
Wife and mother!

And now I sit and ponder,
And now wonder!

Where did the years go?
I’m becoming old and slow!

My joyful youth gone by!
I wonder how and why?

What have I really achieved?
This age I’d not conceived!

The years that lie ahead,
Fill my thoughts with dread!

In my heart I’m still a child,
But the years, they do beguile!

(23rd February 1996)

Dear Panayiota Ryall,
Many thanks. I just wrote my feeling in watching snow at advange age. The season is winter, and it put snow to cover my head. Oh, I'm in winter age! How fast the time pass!
