Ageless

One has a body that defines age
It's there performing until turning 
the last page

However it's subject just as are all 
life forms
To times' ravages which then become 
the norms 

The body is the container for its driving 
machine
It's the mind of course what else would 
that mean

The mirror reveals a time-aged exterior
But a working mind is proof of an ageless
 interior
