At My Age

At my age
when it comes to love
surely I’ve seen
and heard
it all…
but, then again
is not Love’s vision
always a delight?
And enchantingly
the sound, lovely
as the sight--

In fact, the world over
(all that has been new)
only of Love
has this
remained true:

No higher any 
other joy--
no deeper 
any other blue….
