The Yearning Years
light dances silver on horizon's bend
we, approach last breath
complete life's arc
and find order in reflections
of our fleeting journey
through curious meadows
where we paused at rivers
loving precious moments
of joy and pain
aged in shade of wonder
a memory time will steal
like losing gems in churning waters
the setting sun reminds us night is near
day cannot hold forever
we, having seconds left
reach perfection's plateau
finding peace in our odyssey
and looking down upon fragile hands
speak of the yearning years
