Renewal.
Small but
withering spores of ageing breed more
cells that weaken and taste
of decay
yet maturing surrender will ever resist
feeding oldness.
Years lived should glow in exciting rays
of juvenile wonderment,
not merely alive
but being actively vibrant as fervour
holds youth ever
suspended in energetic renewal.
Reliably keen
dynamic forces intend to re-shape
what is lethal
in minds bent on negating simple
outlook on life.
Trouble viewed with innocent awe
makes heart young
and spirit stays ageless for beauty
lies inside where
one ready smile keeps time at bay.
