Old Age Doesn't Exist For All

Old age doesn’t exist for all
   Because many claim its presence;
I submit that living goes on
   Through many-hued firmaments.

A shade of love lives here
   And over there, a victory, I deem -
Patience caught them in her lair
   And surprise - she frolics in between

For one might, on some fateful day -
   Pluck a strange flower
And on another, move a rock away
   And something wonderful - uncover.
