Creaks and groans
Dry skin and bones
Old age, some say
Yet, I`ve seen
Octogenarians move
With fluid grace
Three days spent
In a grave
Came out surfing
A mighty wave
Does a dragon
Ever age?

Poetic lines that left me smiling. I have felt many of these things myself and age is something that one needs to laugh at not cry with. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks, Soren. Yes indeed, laughter, not tears. And certain folks in the Orient have showed us how to keep the body supple, strong, and vital, without "creeks and groans," until the end of our present sojourn on earth. After, what 60 years or so of these arts being in the West, I often wonder why so many people still believe that old age = pain, sickness, weakness, rigidness etc. BOLLOCKS TO THAT!!
Great write
Thanks, Tony. Stay supple, strong and vital!
