How might a couple couple late in life,
A time when some are loath to start anew?
Perhaps the heart retains its appetite;
Perhaps one's lust for love is never through.
Years may modify that primal need,
For passion fades like a slowly setting sun.
Intimacy stays, though tides recede;
Fulfillment comes as lucid mornings come.
The task of making coupling make sense
Has the benefit of experience.
