Where have the days gone?
Like feathers, they fly away
in the breeze of life.
Fragile, wispy thoughts
we gather in, one by one-
stroked with loving care.
Do they fly faster?
It seems to us, as we age-
time learned a new step.
It spins us around
to fast-forward those feathers
we held yesterday.
Grasped away too fast
before we can comprehend
their shapes and colors?
Relish each moment
lest the thief of time stops by
and they fly no more.
Spend time with each one.
Caress the silky texture
to flawless beauty-
before they are whisked away.
