"Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay."- Robert Frost
For long-gone days of my youth I lament.
Decades of gold – how quickly they were spent!
And now the autumn’s chill has taken hold.
The grip it has on me can’t be controlled.
Florescent spring, when sunshine kissed my face -
oh, the many dreams I used to embrace.
Innocent was I, thinking I knew of truth
in that sweet, fresh blossoming of my youth.
Joyous moments I collected have blurred;
their melody rallentando I’ve heard.
A rose on fall’s hedge, I will wilt away,
joining lost loved ones some glorious day.
