Time is a Thief !

Reflection upon aging

Once life was, dreams bright and distant

What will be ...was as a star afar

Nothing from the past was much lent

It all was now and as bright as winter star

Then life flowed away as a river deep and swift

Washing forgotten plans along with its swift flow

Had I waded in those waters of dreams with thrift

Little knowing how fast they would go, not slow

But passing of life and the trail of time

Swiftly bade my dreams farewell, the stars did fade

The conquered battles became further and sublime

Many left untouched, some forgot, but few stayed

Now as the body weakens from years of tribulations

The mind slows its pace in creation of new dreams

Each day brings demands of body, with new stipulations

Age dims the enthusiasm of hope, and with resignation it teems
