The elder poet

NOT WANTING TIME.

Seconds , Minutes ,Hours attack my body .

But I come back for more .

Weeks ,months , Years go through my mind .

Losing memories . As well as losing friends that have gone before me .

 

I write down thoughts that I don\'t ever want to forget .

On pieces of paper that are now a back up for my memory .

Not forgotten yet .But a fear that one day I will.

 

Things appearing to these eye\'s when first seen .

Were not what they were thought to be .

The mind see\'s before the eye\'s do .

I never knew this till age showed me .

 

Dreams of life ,Loves ,Living  . Working for the longest time. 

Never seeming to stop . Till broken down . So tired and sore . 

Even in the dreams I seem to never stop . And I wake up tired .

Gray shows upon this head . Both long and curly it use to be .

 

Youth was ever so grand .I wish I had it back .

But never will it show it\'s head again .

Never in my lifetime . But maybe in the nex\'t . I sure hope so .

So send the time against me . I\'ll not lay down . 

But march to the end . Till life begins again .
