Silver

Today I imagined us silver,

silver and luminous,

growing more so

in the passage of years,

glowing more deeply

with that flowing liquid

that more and more fully

powers our being

This is the way to age —

as a tree ages —

this is the way to grow into ourselves,

dropping, with daily grace,

that which obstructs us,

comprised, more each moment,

of light.
