The old

To live life
for old age
and calm
in final bliss
behind all that is past
and to stay with this aim
towards which we have lived
to find beauty,
the existence of love.

    beautiful. These are the things I hope that I will be able to feel and see with age. I love the fact that you get your message across with a certain sense of vaguness. You do not clutter your writing with too many words. It really leaves the reader thinking. Great write.

    Very nice. Odd though, in that it doesn't really make sense. It's like an answer to a question, but you kinda wonder what question. "What is the meaning of life?" lo
    I think you could put more thought into your wording possibly, make it more interesting.... hmm, maybe not.

    There is beauty in age, in knowing, in living a life, simply living it. To be truly wise in this world because of what we have lived, not what we know..excellent free verse here.

    This is a lovely way to look at things. Often though it does not work out like this. I have worked with eldrely people, and sometimes old age is anything but bliss.

    Lovely!

    and aged be the gracious beauty, those young will never see. They see the outer perimeter most pungent underneath where the godly intention is to feel beauty with your soul and here in this peice you do!! That existence!!
