I'm in awe of how beautifully this is painted!
I feel a little self conscious giving you my impression of this, because it seems so personal. I will give it a try though. Here's what comes to my mind...
The middle aged man is turning his back on his younger self or dreams in some way. The older seems sorrowful and maybe feels he's trapped or has shut himself off. The younger man whose spirit is of course still within him, but shut out, is trying to wake him up in a sense to the beautiful world with it's opportunities all around him.
