SO, is this a poem about aging..middle age, perhaps? Is this the moment when looks in the mirror and realizes that youth is slipping away and then there is an immediate (not quite yet conscious) reaction...a flooding of emotion, fear, thoughts about what one has accomplished in their lifetime and what has yet to accomplished as well? I think you've captured it...from the man's perspective.
