If We Age Honestly
If we age honestly, we become love.
As the body weakens, love surges through us,
longing to be released, longing to be lived.
With no time left to not love,
we seek authentic embrace everywhere.
Our deft avoidance maneuvers
convert into directness.
Our armored hearts melt into
pools of eternal longing.
This is why we should look
forward to aging.
Finally, after all the masks and disguises
fall away, we are left with love alone.
God waits for us on the bridge
between our hearts.
