Age At First Is Unseen Poem by Terence George Craddock
Age At First Is Unseen
age at first
is unseen
youth is a dream
age is a predator
sleight of hand
stealing time
age stalks sly
sneaky unseen
stealing youth
age in late life
onslaught stealing
hair stealing tooth
age becomes ruthless
strikes toothless
wears death masks

Super poem on AGE, yes we are robbed by the age/ days/ months and years.
I rather liked the lines 'age in late life onslaught stealing hair stealing tooth age becomes ruthless strikes toothless'; many artists like Michaelangelo made detailed sketch studies of age in youth and old age.
I am intrigued by age, because it is innocent that we are dying from the time we are born; we are growing up and our cells reproduce perfectly, then around the age of 18, DNA flicks a switch, cells suddenly stop reproducing perfectly and we start aging, aging is written into our DNA
