Ageless Am I. Poem by Fay Slimm

Ageless Am I.

Rating: 5.0


Living by spirit of love everlasting, I am
Daily renewed by the action of prayer
The world becomes Tutor, it's wonders unfold
Enhancing delight in my heart at what's there.
In nature, magnificence, awsomely shown
As day becomes dusk, with all in between,
It is breathlessly ageless, and always bestows
To the speechless onlooker every last scene.
Showing God in it's pattern of dynamic
Power, from sunset to bird, from fish to flower,
All throbbing with love and life, to which I too
Have continual access, hour by glorious hour.

Agelessness comes when the heart understands
The meaning of moments, the power of Now.

The way into the realm of Forever is there,
And anyone being aware is endowed
With beautiful feelings of bliss, which though
Fleeting, leave echoes of happiness, feeding
The soul - - contentment, despite trials in life
Defies aging years, and fulfills human needs
Of reassured love, the ageless heart grows
As it constantly knows the reason for being
Is found in a heart willing to serve with whatever
Small talent is given at birth, speedy at seeing
The needs of another and trying to meet them
With compassionate love and nurturing care
Can only bring happiness resultant from giving.

If we want to be ageless the recipe's there.

You obviously can pluck the best out of life and savor it. Ageless for sure, always seeing the positive side of life. A wonderful way to be, Fay. I enjoyed this very much. A '10+! ' Warm Wishes, Marilyn

You have expressed something that very few people, I think, experience in their lives. I once knew a pastor who told me that when people took him to task over the gospel message, they would quite often express their objections by saying, 'I just don't see it'. And therein lies the heart of the matter. Some people rarely see the beauty and perfection around them. You obviously see it so clearly and have shared the sensation eloquently - as always.

Fay, this is beautiful. I love the youthful pace of this fast moving poem - age transcends physicality, it's what lies in the soul. Some magnificent allusions to nature. A poem of clarity, wisdom and wonder - thoroughly enjoyable! S :)

hi Fay, You sing sweet songs of eternity. Bountiful love my heart enshrines, For future and past it doen't pine. Here upon this bank and shoal of time, I have found self-redemption sublime CP

Avery creative storyline, indeed, Fay...Your stucture is virtually flawless, and linage flows like a new coin tossed 'cross an icepond....Age is but numbers, and time spent....It's what we do with that time, that will dictate our legacy, when we ultimately succumb to God's plan. You offer many erudite points, to muse upon, as many of the commentors below, have accurately touched on. Excellent work! F j R

Beautiful words from my ageless mum - Thanks for being ageless you. Ever since I first got to know you in your teens (me being extremely small at that time) , you have been ageless, and therefore, above all, able to be my friend. You have also taught me well to be likewise. Thank you. Your ageless son xx
