Forever Young

Checking my life's schedule....

Within the peaceful serenity

On a calm and quiet Saturday afternoon ~

Traveling through the fire while as the embers stir

Further and further I go; closing my eyes

Amid this journey through timeless time

Smiling as I bring into clarity the years of old....

Stopping along the way and gathering glimpses

So vivid these precious lives that, my heart does hold 

Blood of my blood and Soul of my Soul ~

Tranquillity aside the flowing waters gentle

Upon this erelong shore I stroll....

Pausing, to gaze beyound the horizon's

Brushed in beautiful; their visions; loved ones

Whispering softly within this soothing breeze

Images of dreams....

Majestic moments in a breath that breathe's

What was and what shall someday be ~

Checking my schedule as I smile into, their endless eyes

All that I have known and all that I have loved

Traveling through this fire as the embers burn....

Blood of my blood and Soul of my Soul ~

Promises painting a tomorrow and then, again, “You & Me
