The body ages ... not the heart
it stays forever young
expanding to embrace new loves
it's song is never sung.
Tomorrow I may love still more
than in my yesterdays
life knocks upon the waiting door
outside new music plays.
Love springs unbidden to the heart
a stranger, now a friend
and on a day till then grey dull
loom futures without end.
The mind can furnish countless joys
the body plays its part
but life has no conspiracy
to age a loving heart.
it stays forever young
expanding to embrace new loves
it's song is never sung.
Tomorrow I may love still more

How beautiful, Margie!
ReplyDeleteI agree with every word. I am having more fun now than when I was younger. Life gets better even though body gets older. I never worried about old age, gray hair etc, everything is welcome and adds to the charm of life! :))
how true this is...no matter what storms the heart weathers it has a resiliency and capacity to grow ever deeper and bigger...ageless...timeless...

ReplyDeleteI love that line:
"It's song is never sung."
The photo is a perfect accompaniment to your words.
This is interesting- there's a sort of connection with the tanka that I just posted and your poem here...
ReplyDeleteI tried to comment last night Margie but something wrong with my connection ;(
ReplyDeleteAnyway...my body & mind didn't age coz I kept reminding myself I have to drop my and enjoy yet another beautiful poem :)
Yeah, I did enjoy and that was super cool. I guess, I really have to cope up with them and I realized that avoiding them is not good at all. I know and I hope it will. Thank you! :)
ReplyDeleteHave a good day, Margie! :D
