To Fly

Time is that which you cannot flee it flies faster as you grow gray; what once was twig is now a tree; grown tall and wild upon the brae. You once moved faster than the wind, the daring, dashing youth that flew; and as to time itself; you grinned it’s ticking, it meant naught to you. Time now flies such as once you did ten sunsets now do pass as one. One last bravura from your id; hope you enjoyed the flight, and fun.

So true. I think all poets have written about time, me, lots of times. How suddenly we resemble old people when just yesterday we .... it hurts if I ponder it too long. Also, memories, how some fade and/or turn melancholy. Love the creativity in your write, the expressions and emotion ... CayCay
