To give and to receive

To give and to receive
Ageing on humility
and gratitude.

Walk, sway, swagger

Walk, sway, swagger
to Age
Path of life runs long
Let Grace walk along.

Down to earth

Down to earth,
to ageing,
Drink of the Well
of gratitude.

In fairness and in dirt

In fairness and in dirt

Ageing can be glamorous

Walk tall, walk well.

Ageing walks alone

Ageing walks alone
unafraid, confident
when fear is not in death.

Let go, let off

Let go, let off
let out, let in too,
Let life swing.

New day

New day

Embrace of colours,

breath, energy,

Age renews.

I have, you have

I have, you have
Through the ages,
Together, apart,
Not mere memories.

With glee, perhaps
With bitterness, too
Certainly no mere memories.

Points of balance

Points of balance
Trials of age
Seeking evenness.

Retreat into

Retreat into
embrace of
nature's breath,
Buoyancy of age.

Through the ages

Through the ages
Letting go
Holding on
Tender moments
to see through.

When the cup spills over

When the cup spills over
When layers of comfort warm
Let lines of gratitude run over the face.

What's beautiful

What's beautiful,
ageing, and losing,
What's beautiful
when I look into your heart.

Weave a song

Weave a song
in the heart
so tears
are mere droplets of moods.

Growing old

Growing old
Growing alone
Let the sun in
and the moon by the window.

Beads of memories

Beads of memories
Gems of warmth
swathe an ageing heart.
