Ages

Having acquired most 
and experienced more 
I am left 
now to wonder 
is this it
I’m done traveling 
to distant places 
exploring new cultures 
learning new lives 
I’ve had tragedies 
and my triumphs 
and now I 
wonder if life 
at this age 
belongs to reminiscence 
and why then
if that’s so 
is life cruel 
for the gaiety 
that youth was
should never be 
remembered just as
this now old
age back then 
could never ever 
have been imagined 
life you should 
not make one 
age responsible to 
ever even think 
about the other
