In the enclosing, stiffening feeling
Of tightening closeness
What was once only ours
Gravity has taken from us
Such a cruel, cruel thing
All encompassing, draining
This thing is so fragile
This Earth,
This sky,
Us together tonight
What a waste of time
Or a life of reason
A summer with no sun
Or unpredictable
Like the rainfall
Must remember this is real
And the older we get
The less we feel
Accept that which is no longer
Embrace what doesn’t kill us
As we grow stronger

Inspired...I like the contradictory nature of this.

Sometimes I think the older I get, the more I feel, but you have a nice way of expressing this one.

"And the older we get

I feel more, the older I get......
