Aging Thoughts

I remember when time didn’t last a day
When the sun settled upon a hill without a plan
Orange glowing 
Crickets chirping… “dawn is setting”

Grass so light onto sleep
And time never passed my brain
 

If time were not to exist 
I could sleep in, crush the covers between my fingers

Pause
Stop and explain what you missed 
In awe of your ignorant bliss

Relish your childlike grin
Forever in search of within
