As the Years Fall Away
As the years fall away with autumnal ease
Projecting the memories far into the days
Tinged with a sadness that harnessed the breeze,
Blown through the canyons of spirits to raise.
And the eyes cloud and yearn with a faraway sheen
For she who was gentle, beatific and kind,
A feeling of longing for all that has been
And continues to be in the birthday girl mind.
Somewhere lies a place where the sun never sets,
It beckons and calls through the bars of a cage,
Where the past is a mistress paroled of regrets
And we remain children, whatever our age.
