Age
 

Conquest of the will,
War of the mind.
My eyes water
At the end of memory.

Thoughts flow like tears,
Running to nothing.
Down, down, down.
No mind, no joy.

Waves flood over
What we knew and loved.
Lost forever, gone
In a rising sea of time.

No hope, no joy,
Gone, gone away.
Last of the losses,
Never to return.
