about

Linen. I have often admired how some older women seem to effortlessly wear linen. I wrote this as a lighthearted poem just for me about how I felt to be getting older and, originally, had no intention of sharing it!

lyrics

Linen by Carol Fieldhouse

I’m wearing linen now all crisply pressed
Muted shades that age suits best
But underneath, well who knows
A fierce fire burns, dancing bones

Who could know that deep inside
A dancer lurks that won’t be tied
The kitchen walls gaze calmly on
Twyla, Balanchine, Jazz, the Swan

I’m wearing linen now still crisply pressed
A hint of leopard on my vest
A rebel ember in my bones
In spite of muted fading tones

Come what may, life’s ups and downs
More smiling wrinkles less furrowed frowns
Time to live and love and rest
And savour all in life that’s best
