The Epidemic of Seeing

Folder: 
All In Love

I look at you,

Beautiful and willowy in your youth.

I see the trickle of your curls,

The long grace of your lissome bones,

And I know this, too,

Will fade,

Even the grandeur,

(If I'm smug enough

To name it thus, )

Of mine youthful face will

Slow it's shine with memories.

But our bones shaved of youth,

Will still entwine in years,

The scrape of polished age will

Twist-turn innocence into known.

And our hearts twin-beats

Will shine with all the

Youthful thirst for life we know,

Comforted and brave in

Old and new,

For each dawn is but another

Sunset, waiting thus.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Love and aging. Sometimes one doesn't matter so long as you have the other.
