“Ageless”- A Poem About Growing Older
Inspired by my birthday this past Saturday March 17th, I present to you my newest poem “Ageless." Happy Spring Equinox!
As my container fades
my spirit grows
Each new year
an aged rose
Atoms decay
Flesh finite
Soul steadfast
infinite light
Beauty beyond
illusive walls
Uncontained
the illusion falls
I must not fear
what is not mine
Body borrowed
returned in time
All this life
I buff, I shine
treasure gifts
that are not mine
Of the divine
that's where I live
On borrowed time
this life a gift
Energy shift
it does not die
Boundless beauty
one mind's eye
I grasp, I plea
hold on so tight
It's all illusion
why such a fight?
Let go and fly
freedom unfolds
This earthly prison
no longer holds
Awakened spirit
ageless soul
Years of struggle
Sorrows untold
It's all a daydream
nothing less
nothing more
a video game
a virtual tour
Alas I know
at my root core
I am eternal
nothing less
nothing more
So as the clock ticks
as the seasons come and go
I no longer fret
I no longer woe
For I have learned
truth be told
There is no death
so I can't grow old
