It never is too late
Forget your pains and ailments,your age has no importance whatsoever,
you are young and will remain so
as long as you are faithful to your love
and keep on loving, even stupidly,
persistently and stolidly, but for no longer,
while your only charm and beauty
is the honesty, sincerity and truthfulness
of what you harbour in your mind and soul –
your true intentions are your actual character,
that you can never hide or mask to anyone –
it is your birthmark of eternity,
that you will always doubt and re-evaluate
and maybe struggle with, but it is you
and what you bring with you into eternity;
and if there's any truth at all and beauty in it,
then you are all set and home in timelessness,
where it can never be too late to finally start loving.
