Age Is JuSt

 

 

Age is just

 

Age is just a number

Now I remember

My youth

The truth

Is out of the bag

No it’s not uncouth,

It’s catching up

We all know

The systems of aging bodies

Run awfully slow

 

You know not tomorrow

What will happen?

To ones running nose

Or a surgeon will

Prostate’s operation proposes.

 

It’s just another number

Now everyone does know.

The one who came first

Does not always go

But the later comers perhaps

The heart beats run faster

Heavens do know

Which one comes now?

Are you ready to go?

I find it hard to believe you are the "Loved" I first met

You were arrogant and shallow. Your poetry has improved so much and you are listening to feedback. I know I was very unkind to you at first, and I take no credit for your growth, but I do admire how you have improved yourself. I believe others who have greater kindness than me have helped you. Cheers, Jess, Reprehensibly irrepressible, "the alleged short-cut to knowledge, which is faith, is only a short-circuit destroying the mind." [Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged]

u have been kind

You have been kind To pull me out Of shallow waters Where I’d for ever remain And It’s your wisdom That did prevail Ere I went off the rail And The docs my cancer so frail Slice it away To the cancer my ego gave way So I live to thank you today loved and lovely

Loved,

I find the wording quite interesting actually, as for the write, I took a great liking to it :) the break-up of the lines I think is what I like most. Peace and cheers, logic

Age is a state of mind/body

Age is a state of mind/body (dis)connection/(dis)association. It takes a little bit of wisdom to know that. No matter the relative age. Loved...is good no matter what, no matter who, no matter how... ~A "Just as what you dream is your own and no one else can observe it, so the world you see is your own." ~ Nisargadatta
