A Day on the Hourglass

The deciduous leaves fly
Ordered by a lightning cry
And this, I was not aware
Of the seasons passing by

Falling leaves the trees forsake
The decaying premise take
It is done, I can't turn back
They're for the Janitors rake

I am living in my rhyme
In this swiftly, shifting time
For the many walks to walk
On a vast uncertain clime

Nineteen years before the now
Asked myself this question how
Can i keep this youth esteemed
If in times' presence i bow

I was thinking of a poem that would commemorate my 19th year in this life/world.. so july 8, 1989 is the exact date..

TIME! SENILITY! AGE!

"I am living in my rhyme..." yes indeed you are, dear Gerald! Your word choice is truly exquisite in this piece and I especially loved that you entwined seasons in this beautiful poem. Happy birthday (though a sorrowfully late wish it is I suppose) and here's to hoping this new year of your life sees many great poems waxed and your spirit soar!
Yours most fondly,
Jo
