Seeing The Foutain of Youth

By Josh Lindenbaum

Your skin may wrinkle

Your bones may become weak

You might lose all your hair

But your eyes will never wrinkle.

You may go deaf

You may have no control over your bowels

you might die soon

But your eyes will never wrinkle.

That light in your eyes, no matter how old you are

can’t be touched by the hands of time,

no matter how long the fingers are,

Your eyes will never wrinkle.

Your eyes are like a glistening rain drop

on a leaf with the sun shining on it.

Your body may look like (and I know you don’t like when I say the number)

94, but your eyes look like your in your twenties

because eyes

Never,

wrinkle.
