Live Old

Description

Time will slow you down if you're lucky
A chance to be ground into the earth
The wind playing with your sands
before you leave this land
impatience kills good chance; slow down
Better not count on winning; there may be no race
Better not scorn the old
wisdom may need a slower pace

When the pressures of youth are gone
sing a vaster song
What mattered so much, time seeded with its touch
Something age brings with invisible things
freed from broken dreams; grow old
Better not kill it in youth
you might pass through that portal
Better not count on dying
you just might be immortal

It seems a long wait for treasures beyond the gate
and your looks and prizes aren't worth taking with you
The trumpet blares of youthly cares
might obscure that view - there's more

- Faun Fables
