Don't want to age
as some sad old man shuffling slowly shoulders spent
getting in the way wafting faint odours of urine and decay
Not gonna rage against ageing sickness or dying nor worldly
worries attached unwitting to delusions of my own creating
So at the waning of the day with waiting death mere breaths
away there will be little more to say hip hip hooray
Time then to rejoice with peaceful mind each precious moment
as memories like dreams dissolve in space forever gone
So death hovers another beat closer epitome of patience
dispatcher of life knowing all beings must die to be reborn
Time soon to greet the reaper in forgotten realms to find peace
clarity and bliss beneath her gossamer shroud ..
