New Mortality

Does the tolling
Perplex you?
It did me
When I was ripe as you,
The sound brandished 
Wrinkles beneath my clothes,
Your prime dwindles
Throughout your head, doesn't it?
Its a separate entity - now -
Release - retire your dreams.
-
Let memories fall
Like hair -
Soon,
You will be existing - diseased - 
In a photo album
Professing your recollection.
There it tolls again!
Listen to it commit you
Resembling aged, cryptic lyrics
Forgotten by the generation
You never saw yourself surpassing.
-
Soon,
You will breath fate.

Does it confound you
That all things end
Strangling
Their eternity?
