Life Anew

You reach that certain point in life when your hair is thin and grey The aches and pains more numerous now as the body slowly gives way Each day you search for purpose in a world that moves too fast Like a comet in the midnight sky your life goes rushing past Time once your friend now weighs on your mind as the clock ticks relentlessly on You lay each night to rest with the thought that you may not see the dawn For to release the spirit from this aging body would bring an end to life that's true But maybe somewhere out there is the peace we seek as we make space for life to begin anew
