Poetry For Aging

         The Light


The light crawls

Until it fledges

Then it flies 


Flutter fly

In the night and day

Sparkle glow


Soar,  bumble

Shine high flicker low

Be alive


When you fall

Stay alight by will

Do not yield



              Age

The mountain slowly slides

Or it crashes down

Into crumbs of rock


Natural hand axes 

Wind soothes edges

down

Sands away the bit


Rain to stream to river

Water sculpts and rounds

Eggs and globes are born


The wildness of the rock

Becomes  the border

A family's wall
