-- Some Things Never Grow Old -- by John Herlihy Some things in life never grow old, Always inspiring, forever retold. The regularity of the rising dawn, The timid gaze of an inquiring fawn. The mystery of the dark night sky, The twinkling of stars that never die. The simple beauty of an unfolding bud, The layered mystery in emerging love. The gift of discovery in a new friend, The realization some things never end. Mercy, trust, an abiding peacefulness, Faith, love, the power of forgiveness. Everything dies, at least so I am told, But some things in life never grow old. - - - - - - Copyright © John Herlihy Thursday 23 November 2023

Yes, indeed. Perhaps that is why I never consider dieing the end. For the next phase in such an existence has a good chance of being part of the earth's Nature in one form or another. And... should the winds determine, another purchase of my dust will do just fine. Your choice of things that never grow old is insightful and registers hope. Thank you.

She Intrigues Me, Revelations Of Love by Jon Willey

If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.

This book represents a thirty-day period of my poetry journal. Each poem addresses the dominant thoughts occupying my mind during the early morning hours of a given day.
