Sad Glimpses

Sad sad story here
As melancholy spears...


Feel bereft of hope
As weary body scopes...


Why thus you may ask?
Broken dreary old tasks...


Sad sad story lines
How aged this old soul brined!


Feel the curl of time
Sending shivers and chimes...


Face the dreary deep
Cold as frozen sleep...


Old age is a drag
Awkward steps like torn rags...


Sad glimpses loiter
Fester as thoughts wander...


Sad sad story blunt
Old lips now learn to grunt...


Feeble body pains
Unfinished zest greets gain
