our journeyed day
shall speed and shape our end in play.

Each breath we gain
is youth we toss
into the wind's unending loss.

Against the tides
of time we fight
to prolong deadly ocean's might.
(Though this shall hardly win delight)

If wrinkles bring
us to a fright,
we shall not grasp a future bright.
(we must uphold our inward light)

As dreams wish held
to waking mind
we should to want of dreams be kind.

Remember then
when dark brings sleep
to honor dreams your heart should keep.
(As this may save your heart from weeping,
and your gift of light from sleeping) [comments] => 3 [counter] => 187 [topic] => 21 [informant] => albenweeks [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

Lots of fine advice in this and the flow was delightful.
I really loved this stanza

"If wrinkles bring
us to a fright,
we shall not grasp a future bright.
(we must uphold our inward light)"

What perfectly simple wisdom. And so beautifully put.
The whole piece is just a lovely reminder of where
true beauty and strength lie --within the soul.

Excellent post! -- Achelois
