Old Man

Old Man I am not an old man I'm a young man that's grown old not that aged look seen when young glazed forgotten aching slow I'm not him waiting in some park reason fading race already run nor seated in deaths icy room neither lost, bereft or my labour done These eyes still reflect my ancient world and that place still looks the same I am a mountain watching seasons a mountain bathe by wind and rain.
