Time's Thesaurus

The blaze of youth
       leaves behind burnt
              antonyms

       of which
              the mellowing years are
                     desirous,

              but can only
                     gather so much
                            synonyms

                     from hindsight,
                           memories in time's
                                  thesaurus.
