🌷 From Youthful Song to Elder Smile:
A Life Lived in Sacred Simplicity...
—by Guruji Gede Prama
Youth begins as a song,
bright and untamed,
dancing in the morning wind.
Age arrives softly,
not to silence the song,
but to turn it into gold.
Old will give you gold,
when you place life in your years,
not merely years in your life.
Ripen your days gently.
Let experience become wisdom,
not weight.
You need not explain everything.
Some truths lose fragrance
when spoken too loudly.
Energy is sacred.
Guard it like a candle
in a restless world.
Learn the art of not explaining.
Not withdrawal—
but refinement.
Not because you suppress emotion,
but because silence
has become your home.
Silence is like space—
vast, embracing,
without demand.
It is the womb
where unconditional love
quietly breathes.
Keep this in your heart:
long love is woven
by imperfect hands.
Two souls stumble,
yet refuse to abandon
the sacred bridge between them.
Their loyalty becomes prayer.
Their patience becomes light.
Life welcomes them both.
Young age sings in joy,
fearless and bright
like sunrise over water.
Old age smiles in beauty,
gentle as twilight,
content with little.
To make it happen—
live simply,
love deeply.
Each act of loving-kindness
lifts the universe softly—
and surely lifts you too.
