Beautiful 37

In the quiet dawn of my golden years,
Where wrinkles trace the map of my past,
I find moments that bring me near,
To the beauty of life that will forever last.
Once a vibrant youth, full of reckless flame,
I chased dreams on the winds of wild desire,
But now, as age embraces my every frame,
I find wisdom in the embers of life's fire.
With every line etched upon my weary face,
I see stories written in the ink of time,
Glimpses of laughter, love, and pain leave their trace,
Reminding me of moments that were truly mine.
For in aging's tender embrace, I have found,
A tapestry woven in passion's grand design,
Where every thread, every memory profound,
Weaves a melody that makes my heart align.
The sun, now gentler, basks me in its glow,
As birds serenade with melodies of the air,
I watch as seasons change, come and go,
And marvel at life's intricate affair.
Gone is the haste that once consumed my days,
Replacing it with a quiet wisdom's bloom,
Time's gentle whisper guides me through the maze,
And unveils the treasure hidden in each room.
No longer bound by society's demand,
I dance freely, unburdened by the fear of not,
Embracing the beauty of life hand in hand,
With memories that form a bountiful plot.
For as youth fades like a distant shore,
To be replaced by the grace that aging reveals,
I've come to realize, it's not the years, but more,
The lessons learned and the love that life conceals.
So, I embrace the wrinkles, each and every line,
As a testament to the stories that intertwine,
For in the dance with time, I've come to find,
That true beauty is found in embracing life sublime.

Peace & Love
