Notes About The Poem

Life seems to have passed so quickly when you look back at it. Let's hope the best bits reappear for us in another time and place.

Renaissance

Renaissance

Time has overtaken age
and caught the years in its wake,
insisting that all follow
at a pace which increases
with every day of life.

The elastic years of childhood,
when every moment is crammed
with new life and excitement,
give way to mundane monotony
with little to inspire or thrill.

Time steals the solace of Spring
and hides it in eternity
for our renaissance.

Thank you, Daniel. Life is something to be grasped but when you're young, there doesn't seem any hurry.
