not int’rested, as his eyes close in slumber
not int’rested at all as the whirl worlds by
careening through caverns of dream-laden sleep
waking to refrains of gentle cradlesongs  
lost in the niches of a time-worn past
filled with caution, bursting with care

not int’rested, as his shoulders shrink in respite
not int’rested at all as eons turn toward nothing
painting the halls of mist-night visions
blackened reveries of a soul undone
absent in the abyss of long-sought memories
laden with caring, burdened with none

and feeling seeks dying as solace for concern
while int’rest eludes ere the soul’s flight’s begun

Sadly, too many people are like that - beautifully expressed, Steaven.

"lost in the niches of a time-worn past

I think I feel this way so much lately~~

it's probably the same for all generations once they reach being "the elder"

Sometimes too much thinking can be dangerous
