Ageless
This poem is ageless –
No wrinkles, no white hair, no unsteady gait.
This poem dances on the shores
of oceans, lakes, deserts.
This poem sings on her backporch
in the moonlight – loudly – Handel’s Halleluiah Chorus .
This poem loves deeply and joyfully
and exchanges the feeling of skin on skin.
This poem is ageless.
This poem flies with owls between the trees –
silent and unafraid.

This is (undeniably) my favorite piece by you. I love the theme, what it says about the speaker, the promise (and choices) it shares with anyone willing to welcome them.
This poem is a free soul, delighting
in the gift that is to be.

I love this ageless poem, Toni, dancing on shores and singing on the back porch, and especially flying with owls!

What a beautiful ageless poem indeed. I love all the images, the dancing and most of all the singing on the backporch
