Time Is Fluid

A life is a story told in the arc of time. Time is fluid, white as light, And glittering with flecks of brilliance, Liquid moments leaking away over the years. Sometimes I feel as if I am inside a mirror Watching my life leaking away. The world outside seems insubstantial, As if the present is a dream, And only my memories are solid, And alive, and now, The only clear instants in the fluid of time

Thank you, Ilene. This is what happens when one is fully retired and has far too much free time on his hands.
