    Age

    Age is neither man nor woman
    Nor your worry for pension plan
    Age is neither sound nor song
    Nor a lifespan just prolonged
    Age is neither humble nor proud
    Nor your ache for a familiar crowd
    Age is neither journey nor destination
    Nor the time you sign for resignation
    Age is neither rest nor job
    Nor a youth groped and robed
    Age is neither crown nor crime
    Nor your fight against deadly times
    Age is neither wound nor words
    Nor a desire to fly with birds
    Age is neither cage nor rage
    Nor a name given to constant change
    Age is a fish
    Age is rich
    Age is a wicked witch
    Age is quiet
    Age is polite
    Age starts to hide
    Age is fright
    Age is black and white
    Age is weak bones
    Age is infertility zone
    Age is drunk medicine
    Age is done and undone
    Age accepts
    what it must not reject
    Age starts to see
    Age is a butterfly
    Age is to rely
    Age is a bumblebee

    who am I but a stitch in time
    what if I were to bare my soul
    would you see me origami

    An interesting piece here Pensive to reflect on.
    it may never try
    but when it does it sigh
    it is just that
    good
    it fly

    Interesting and fitting poem!
    "I seemed to have sensed also from an early age that some of my experiences as a reader would change me more as a person than would many an event in the world where I sat and read. "
