Rage rage, against the dying of the light

How do you interprete this poem in term of spirituality?

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Haha. You see, from God's point of view, every interpretation is Good. Any one interpretation holds no weight, nor holds any "greater" or "lesser" truth in it. 

A more important question would be, "How did the poem make you feel?" "What did it inspire within you?"

@TheAvatarState it provoke a strong feeling in me. I can't explain it 

That feeling is more real than any interpretation. More real than any words. Go into that. ?
