are increasingly greyed
(and mine are
decreasingly gradient)
and our brains
are increasingly frayed
(mostly from a society
wallowing in harebrained unrealities
and careless atrocities
arising from heartless greed)
your heart that cares
and Spirit that shares
grow increasingly Radiant
with each passing Day
and assure me
with Loving Presence
that though the way
is often perilous
we have no need
to be afraid
and though we
are growing older
and have reasons
in these seasons
to grow colder
towards Life
and each other
we're growing
to discover
that a Life
lived in Love
that is true
will uncover
all that is
not Love
and bring it
into the Light
that is bolder
not only
to reveal
but ultimately
to Heal
to provide
a shoulder
to lean on
(especially
in the times
we aren't
too keen on)
and reside
in a Space
where we realize
the Sacred Surprise
that all we fear
that appears
to be old
and stark
in its Heart
contains the Spark
that is ever New
that ignites the Flame
that fires the Sun
and gives us
Courage and Trust
Mercy and Grace
to run the Race
another passing Day
with each other
so let's sit back
and take in
the view
and celebrate
the fact
that 32
looks nice
on you
(and me, too).
