Old Enough

File:Ivatan Old Woman.jpg

Will you be getting old enough,
then you will surely understand
youth can be quite a handcuff
tying your body to the ground.

The wrinkles make you lighter,
the bones are just like birds’
so hang yourself to laughter,
follow the wind up in the skies.

Let autumn around you with color,
spring with smells and shines…
Hide summer in rings of flowers
And winter in pairs of gloves!
