Time

Time

All is lost, so gradual the theft of hope,
when a day is but a day, no more,
every action but a shadow, copied,
from countless days put to rest.

To live, see or feel, something new,
as a child, eyes wide in wonder,
the mysteries still that, and now,
no more puzzles to solve, joy sleeps.

Stoic.
