Midlife
Surging energy singing through limbs
and arteries, extolling the virtues of youth
Electric trembling, vibrating possibilities
teasing forward-guiding vision
Steadfast release of old dreams
and faded desires preparing ground for
A new alchemy, wizened grace
snaking to the heavens
Where wisdom resides and spiritual tides
convey transformational treasures
Preparation for the threshold crossover
passage into mystery and wonder
