Fourteen Fifty - 1450

Foot on the gas
No time to slow down

Paddling harder
Not wanting to drown

Reaching for oxygen 
Atmosphere's thinner

Still in the race
Eat the dust of the winner 

Adventure not waining
For some skiing off piste

Soulful confessions?
Time to contact a priest

There's life in the old dog
Though the snow on the roof

Offers no clue
To the internal youth

Life can't be frantic
Should be leisured, not hurried

We're meant to be rested
Not hastened or worried

So whatever the day brings
It's a gift to be treasured

Your age is just numbers 
Not how life should be measured
