Emile Pinet Poet Fibonacci

Memories and Idiosyncrasies

As
time
ticks by
you grow wise
and dreams start to fade
while innocence and youth vanish
leaving you to deal with life’s hypocrisies and lies
and extraordinary slowly vanishes from your vocabulary forever.


Old
age
oft turns
hopes into
unfulfilled wishes
restricted to the realm of dreams
for reality no longer supports fantasies
and your persona consists of anecdotes, memories, and idiosyncrasies.

Carolyn Devonshire January 12, 2019 at 11:43 AM How sad this is, Emile, and though I know it's true, I hate to admit it. Conceding such decline almost seems to hasten it. Absolutely beautiful!
