into the mind,
into the joints,
into the organs,
it plays an old age melody
while it robs you of youth,
it prevents sleep
prevents activity and
prevents enjoyment of life
that was presently there...
we ignore the passing of time
as youth reigns supreme,
and we ignore all the warning
signs that tell us differently,
we attend funerals of friends
not seeing the connection
or the relevance...
we wonder why time has
moved so quickly,
leaving us without enough
to finish our goals...
we encourage a youthful spirit
in the hopes it will slow it
all down, knowing we are
limited with what we receive
on top of the mountain.
