Alone with the rage of age

ALONE WITH THE RAGE OF AGE
I AM ALONE AND YET I AM NOT BY MYSELF,
MANY REACH OUT IN SEARCH OF WEALTH,
IT IS NOT FINACIAL THE WEALTH WE SEEK,
BUT LOVE TO SHARE BY THE HOUR THE DAY THE WEEK.
I LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND SEE THE RAMPAGE OF TIME AND TIDE,
LOOK INTO MY EYES TO SEE THE YOUTH THAT IS STILL INSIDE,
LOOK AT MY BODY YOU WILL SEE THE SIGN OF AGE,
BECAUSE OF THIS MY HEART IS HEAVY WITH SORROW AND RAGE.
WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN NOW THAT I FEEL AT MY BEST,
THE KNOWLEDGE AQUIRED HAS FILLED MY LIFE FULL OF YEST,
KNOW ME, SEE ME FOR WHO I AM NOT WHAT I HAVE BECOME,
I DO NOT WISH TO BE LOVED BY ALL, JUST MAYBE BY ONE.
SO MUCH LOVE TO GIVE, TO RECEIVE FROM DEEP WITHIN,
TRY AS I MAY I CAN NOT STOP THIS THING CALLED TIME,
GROW OLD GRACEFULLY I AM TOLD, SO IS MY WAY A SIN,
THEY SAY TOMORROW IS THE START TO THE REST OF YOUR LIFE, LIFE WILL THEN BEGIN.
SOME OF THE AREAS ARE WRINKLED AND SOME ARE CREASED,
I AM STILL ALIVE AND KICKING, IT IS NOT AS IF I AM DECEACED,
LEND ME YOUR EAR, TAKE TIME OUT TO LISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE TO SAY,
I HAVE A WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE THAT COULD COME YOUR WAY,
COULD THIS BE YOU SOME DAY..

About this poem:
Coming to terms with the fact your mind and thoughts never age the way your body does.Still think the same as I did at 30,then I look in the mirror and see my 67 years

It is not like when Scipio burnt the ships to prevent all to have nowhere to go / You can always make a slip / to sail off on the soft waves of time / you can not swim, but never worry / the winds will help you climb.
