No Longer Teenagers

Between

two sides of life 

there is a space as wide 


as the ocean
as small as the pause 

between notes


In those places and spaces

we live and roam

smelling flowers, 


revelling in the music of ages

clambering over rocks, with 

travels under majestic prairie skies, 


hearing geese calling their mates

watching ducks splash down

on wide open lakes


standing on sandy shores 

with our arms open wide

for as long as we can and 


as long as our will takes us

tho’ our bodies may run down and 

forget we are no longer teenagers.


still we move on within 

the circle of the life 

we have come to know and cherish.


“Find ecstasy in life; the mere sense of living is joy enough.”

~ Emily Dickinson
