Spirit and bones.

Sometimes bones age faster than the spirit.  For others their spirit fades faster than bones.  Some weren't meant for this world being of another, dreaming of the moon and floating as if they were already spirits, feeling the tug of their other worldly home calling to them. The spark in their eye flits in and out of the world.
 Some were born with old spirits and although young outside, their spirit gained the wisdom of age, bringing with it, its experiences from a past life.  This spirt comes whole and can remember, so there are the young that are cautious, the spark in their eye showing true deep thought. Some are born whole and remember the love in the world, these are the kind spirits among us, the spark in their eye is empathy.
 Some spirits are born in pieces within us and dont remember.  Born lost from the very beginning, these are the ones reckless in life and their spark in their eye wild and hungry.
Some are born with rage for injustices done in the world, the spark in their eye is one of anger.
Some spirits know.  The spark in their eye flits in and out of this world, the spark in their eye shows deep thought, the spark in their eye shows empathy, the spark in their eye show wildness and hunger, the spark in their eye show anger, the spark in their eye show love and understanding.

Its not the outside that counts.  Its the energy inside you.  Time flies swiftly and takes with you the youthfulness of your skin, the shine of your hair, the flexibility in your bone joints and for some it takes the spirit in you.
But for some, the spirit burns and its the only thing that time cannot take from us.  It becomes knowing : of the ephemeral life, thinks deeply about the world, sympathizes with those who cannot stand on their own, is angry at the ones who step on the ones who cannot stand, is the spirit that searches hungrily for answers in the wild, its the spirit that grows to love and understand the balance that life has to offer.  Life is not unfair, we percieve it as so.  But the spirit that grows, that is not afraid to be kind, to be angry, to be lost and to love is the one who understands that life seeks balance and so must we.
