Caged Time Poem by Michael Gale

Caged Time

Rating: 5.0


As the winds of time sweep across my shores,
Wrinkles and age seep into all pores.
Hands of clocks creep faster and faster,
Accompanied by illness, a cancerous disaster.
Of these that, they do attack,
My body's resistant, I thee lack.
As crumbs do assuredly fall from the table,
Aches and pain make life unstable.
Children send parents to rest homes, for the
ag-ed,
Like animals in a zoo,
All restless and Cag-ed!


2005 Michael Jeffrey Gale

SO VERY SAD, BUT IN ITS OWN WAY, ITS THAT CIRCLE OF LIFE THEORY...ETHEREALLY, ASHES & DUST...AETHEREALLY, WE COME IN AS A CHILD...AND LEAVE AS ONE, AS IN CASES LIKE YOU SO ELEQUENTLY WRITE ABOUT HERE...A DOSE OF SOBERMENT FOR THE SOUL, MIKE....AND A TEN FOR A WELL CRAFT OF LIT.!

micheal I can deal with this poem quite well becuse I am a housekeeper at a daycenter for the elderly., they are not caged. they come there every day, picked up by trained people on a mini bus just so they can get out for the day. I love the poem it has great depth to one that deeply understands cheers Sylvie
