Age

Missing image

 

 

Age, 

time passing all too quickly

 

Youth, a fleeting moment
when we have so much to gain,
but with no experience of life...


we let it pass.

It is too late to turn back,
the march of time constant,
forever learning, evolving.

 

The realization of mere existence,

 


Is death for all.

    It is so true, we are in such a hurry when we are young, we don't even see the important things we passed by. When we look back, it's to late to recapture, those important moments we passed in a heart beat.
    I think that will always be the way it is.

    Very Good

    How very sad and true. I see why this poem has several trophys. It deserves them.

    Love,

    When I was going through depression my hugest fears were getting old and dying... because I wanted to enjoy my innocence so much and stay young. But then I realised, you truly are as young as you want to be... I still drive my parents crazy at 18 like I did at 8 and it makes me feel good, as I'm still young at heart!

    Congrats on the trophy here, first of all!! Much deserved, as you've written something quite remarkable here! I'm a little leery of the years creeping up on me here too (I know I'm still relitively young)...but they add up so quick!! Fantastic work, my friend!!

    Sure is true enough life does pass us so quickly and before we know it we are left wondering where the hell it went. it is strange too how the olderr one gets the quicker time seems to pass us by. Years come and go in the blink of an eye. excellent expression on this subject matter best wishes love Brian.

    Wonderful writing

    I agree, completely, with this. When we are young we take 'Time,' for granted. Little realising that 'Time,' is passing us by. We age and get old and regret not making the most of our time when we had it. I love this.

    It is very thought-provoking as well. Quite dark, to think that 'Time,' is passing us by like that. Love the deep meaning in this piece, Darkmistress. You are opening up your mind, bit by bit and producing wonderful writings like this.
