One Single Impression prompt ~ Faces
~
Faces are stories of
Many nations
Many personalities
Many moods
~
The faces of youth spell
Vibrancy
Rebelliousness
Indifference
Daring
Music
Mischief
~
But as they age
Do they
Can they
Find new music and
Mellow into a
Sweet
Kind
Older face
Actively living out
Winters in
A white cap

I like the way your pictures frame and accent the words of your beautiful poem.
