With the Passing of Time
Location
And so I close my eyes
Not for the act of blinking
But for the act of ending
My life, along
With Winter's end beginning.
Opening, my eyes do flutter
Welcoming my life to me
And a start that is to be
A journey, accompanied
By the coming forth of Spring-
My youth does burst with eyes wide open
And with the everlasting thought of bliss
Although these memories I know I'll miss
I cannot help but cling to
The decending of Summer's sweet last kiss-
Eyes squinting now from my old age
A calming smile rests upon my face
Along with the ease of time's coming grace
For now I shall wait here
As Autumn leisurely leaves this place-
And so I close my eyes...
