ON DOTAGE
Old is gold,
But this privilege is rare,
All obligations are over,
And there is time to spare.
Only the beneficiaries enjoy,
This God's grace here.
Years count for little,
When the mind is young and fair.
A seasoned person with elevated soul,
Has access to ecstasy anywhere.
When the conditions are adverse,
And the oddities there,
A stable mind sprinkles,
Pearls of peace everywhere.
And the flowers bloom,
In the desert air.
The old is gold
But, the privilege is rare.

The Setting Star

Dotage, brazen like the twilight,
imposes its prudent wisdom
and benevolence upon infancy
and brusque adulthood alike.

The glorious setting star drains
its spelI upon a dizzy, drunk audience;
raking their dulling conscience
with calm, ripe, illustratative brilliance.

My youth slipped away like sand
I see sixty near the horizon
Mindlessly waiting its approach
The years have swiftly flown
And I reached my mother's age
Maybe just a bit too quickly
I'm not into age-defying maquillage
Or health boosting remedies
To reverse the present dotage
In fact, I am at an anchored age
And it is one moment upon which
I can truly stake my claim
And frankly, this is where I'd rather be
