The Elders

The crevices of physicality

 

Sink deeper,

 

Yet the jewells of originality

 

Grow steeper.

 

Erasing the short-comings

 

Of distancing years,

 

Ignoring the elderly’s hummings,

 

And death’s fears.

 

You stand bold and proud;

 

Forever young,

 

Within life’s merry-go-round.

 

For the joy you have created

 

Is endless and ongoing;

 

And the love that you ignite

 

Is forever growing.
