Youth
I awakened one morning with dawn's early song,
and found youth, over night, had traveled on...by poet
Youth can seem constant when days are sublime,
rushing through life with the wind in your hair.
Racing with the breeze through meadows and time,
chasing tomorrows with hardly a care.
Forever will last with youth as its heir.
Oh to feel that free spirit just once more,
even when a young heart feels it's broken.
Sunshine and youth always in strong rapport,
softening goodbyes that have been spoken.
Bittersweet love, but memories' token.
Time's stolen moments hide in lilac shade,
appearing briefly in morning's rose cast.
Golden moments that glow and softly fade,
saved to remind of time that could not last,
when youth and its magic slipped into Past.
