Aba Brother - Good to have you back...
I cannot help but think, reflecting upon this post, and the poem, that within an old man's eyes remain the sights of youth, thus; youth remains within, for the elderly, and the not so elderly, as represented by the swans. Very deep, and very well-presented, Brother Aba.

I have never read it Abba but it does show that even those you can perceive beauty whilst suffering from one's earthly afflictions can feel the power of life extending regardless.
