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.

you can beat an egg, but you just can't beat a bit of timeless poetry .. x
What else could ageing be, other than the ready relish upon the tongue of yesterdays youth and vigour?
I will go and beat an egg, as Neville suggests, as I can't beat fine poems such as these!
That's the most splendid way to face whatever approaches us! What an uplifting poem. Thanks Fay.
