Forever Young

Checking my life's schedule within the peaceful serenity upon
A calm as quiet Saturday afternoon; traveling through the fire while 
The embers stir further and further, I go closing my eyes amid, this journey 
Through timeless time bringing into clarity her years of old ? Stopping along the way 
Gathering glimpses so vivid these precious lives that, my heart does hold; blood of my 
Blood and Soul of my Soul ~ Tranquillity aside His flowing waters gentle; upon this erelong
Shore we stroll pausing to gaze beyound the horizon's brushed in beautiful ? Her visions....
Dear ones whispering softly and, this soothing breeze; images of dreams majestic, moments 
A breath that breathes; what was, shall someday be ? Checking my schedule while smiling
Into their endless eyes; all that I have known as all that I have loved; traveling through this fire
Reason's embers turn ? Blood of my blood Soul of my Soul promises painting, tomorrow; You and me.

This poem is a beautiful painting in itself, John. I think that those who pause to admire the beauty that surrounds them, will always stay forever young. Just living, enjoying, and loving life can keep you young. This is a wonderful piece of poetry, John, and I enjoyed it very, very much! :)
