Middle Ages

Kids are out, yeah right!
Middle age has brought on a malaise
of righteous melancholy
as the dust settles amidst bunnies and dog hair.
The truth of me may come to light or maybe just an amber glow
burning still
left to flail in puddles of doused dreams.
Shed your tumultuous youth and grasp the empowerment of the middle ages.
Oh the power of me!
Feign off the frailty of aging with every breath
Impending paralysis of gray matter - creeping death
bask in the glowing embers of life's memories.
