 Beyond Age

Time slips deeper into the past;
My personal history growing longer.
59 years have come and now gone;
Wondering, desiring, hoping,
Believing, dreaming, wishing.
What is coming next in this life for me?
Beyond age

Looking into the mirror I see my eyes;
Full of life, of love, of vitality.
Surely, I will see these same eyes
A decade from now.
Surely, I will always have a sharp mind,
Vigorous body, and a vibrant soul.
Beyond age.

Life comes from eternal into the eternal;
Linear time is only an illusion.
Or, am I deceived, full of false hope?
I take pause, look into my essence;
I see a waterfall pouring forth youth.
My eyes are delighted by passion.
Beyond age.

Growing older denotes that growth is on going;
Only in death are we released from this flesh.
Discover, reach deep, fill your cup with joy!
Do not let dogmas cage the bird within you.
Fly, soar, ride the thermals higher;
Like the Phoenix from the ashes of time.
Beyond age.

I will not allow my soul to be numbered;
Freedom calls me to explore with courage.
Delight captures me, I ride into the sunset;
Full of life, full of joy, full of love.
Relinquish the shackles of the number;
Do not let the passing of years dictate your age.
Beyond age.
