Age

Sitting silently, lonely and cold
wondering how I ever became this old
wrinkled fingers gnarled, grey hair askew
some aches and pains, quite more than a few
the mind is home, in fact it's quite sharp
never misses a beat, like playing a harp
so as my body continues to fail
lucidness remains trapped in this human jail
