Analysis of age is a number



age is a number
that does not follow number rule.
 mind has not learnt arithmatic.
it goes ageless.
 one does not know
 at what moment
 it is seven, seveteen, thirty seven
or, when it is a broodng seventy.
 in appreciation
 change my color and gear.
 to look straight at a beautiful face
 of any age i do not fear.
 age is a number;
 mind is the master.
