Youth

Days of youth burn heavy
dancing embers blown to dust
ageless beauty out of reach
empty lies all to keep
majestic gates to useless weights
King of Men to mice of might
road to chance lost evermore

A wonderful and beautifully written description of youth from eyes that have lived it. Simple, yet stunning.

i know i like a poem when I want to read it several times in order to picture it. I did so here, ' king of men to mice of might' - my favourite line
