A heart,
pumps out--
as mine,
within,
taking
all, that
has been,
pewter--
shining--
new again...

an answer,
in a canyon
cold...
simple metal
turned
to gold...
within my grasp
I hold the stone--
philosophy
of faith
untold--
to listen,
watch--
myself, unfold...

I delight in growing old...
if this is what it is...

Hi serenity...
            You know, I loved the entire poem, but I have to tell you that the very last two lines really touched me!! What a nice way to end this lovely poem.........
           I enjoyed my read!!


Today is a gift....
That is why they call it
'the Present'!

Serenity~
Growth ... moderately sculpting yourself
for the future.

Tee-Hee ....
Beats the heck out of 'growing old'.

You tickle me !

which is perfection?

the twig?  the bud?  the blooming rose?  falling petals?  petals in decay enriching the soil for next year's bloom?

each is fulfilling it's design... each is perfect... to unfold, or grow old... naturally delightfull as is Alchemy..

Magical musing moments, poetically melded. Lovely, Serenity.
