Skin

The days when nothing seems to wither 
like the traces of your face
 the gentle lines of times which tested,
leaving wisdom in their wake.
but wisdom visual means years the lesser
more in bed, and less at work
the times when mind wants more than vessel,
and body simply cant go on.
where does mind and soul go? 
when the bed sinks under a bodies weight,
it stays to serve those who surround 
waiting for their skin to be less smooth.
