In Time We Grow Old

We expedite in life’s cycle of summer rain and winter snow
Evolving through moments swinging high and low
With speed as though a passing wind
Death draws near to our hind.

Our silent sufferings teach us to remain bold
Toiling till our bones grow cold
The crack of dawn enlivens horizon of our souls’ consciousness to wake
Hoarding experiences for prosperity and our brood’s sake.

The mighty man above gazes at our daily dramas
Stunned by the facts of our fiction
But lour at our malign melodramas
Anticipating scenes of celebration not commotion.

In time we grow old
Chins wrinkle and skins fold
Savoring the cake and the ache we get to know
The bittersweet of life and wish it wasn’t so.

In time we grow old
Grueling youthful passions as our forebears did in the old
We sit back evaluating our lives
Hoping the rest of our lives would be the best of our lives.

The hustling and tussling bid farewell along the road
Sprouting legacies for those behind and yet unborn to nurture and mold
The clock ticks and time goes on
With the dead in memorial park and those alive are moving on.

Should we choose to carry on
Must we live at the mercy of despair and dread to strive on?
In the end, we all see what we want and have to see
As long as it is all there is to really see.

Only the old can truly tell
The odyssey to heaven’s haven through the corridor of hell
Life is a fleeting flame
We all grow old and pass on leaving behind our names, reputation and fame.
