Old Age

OLD AGE When nepenthe dims the years One seeks tender memories More and more out-of-body – Sweet absent hours without fear – Prized moments come one-by-one, Settle as in waking dreams, And with each treasured twinkling Pain is gone, we’re young again

Hi Daver. Thank you for visiting my "Seven Birds in Spring" and your kind comments. Your visit led me here and after reading a number of excellent Haiku and other treasures, I finally landed here. I love this poem!

Daver in answer to your last question to me, how to be up to date: watch lots of tv shows like American Idol or MTV. hahaha
