Beautiful description passing of era but I
Personally don't feel my age or act my age
But as your poem says

Only the pain and feelings

I feel are real

its the bone pain that reminds us of age
You are only as young as you feel William

Stunning visuals Brilliant write!!
Peace Love and light...and hugsss...Morning star

None of us feel our age William until we try to do the things we did twenty years ago. My grand daughter had me out with the hoola hoop and skipping yesterday, I soon realized I am not as young as I use to be but found I could still teach them. I believe it may be my new exercise, lol. Maybe they will keep me young or be the cause of my death. great write. You are only as old as you chose to be.

I don�t feel the age
I am supposed to be
I don�t see myself as old
As I be

I think that is a very good thing. Keep On, Keepin On.

William,

You've got a lot of living left to do. I hope. Don't give up: fight with every fibre of your being. An excellent, intense, emotional write of introspection, very well penned.

(((((HUGS)))) and love, Karla.

This one seems to be inspired by Dante, traveling at a time where he felt lost (midlife crisis!) to discover Life after death.
A pound of flesh for one's freedom, a ransom that sounds terrifying and reminds me of the Merchant of Venice.

Always in awe of your work...you sort of stole my thoughts here "For I don�t feel the age

I am supposed to be

I don�t see myself as old

As I be"

I never feel as old as I am, I feel younger. This is a very thought provoking and intense write. Awesome Job!!!
