Youth is before the fulcrum
Anxious to progress, time to waste
Rushing through new emotions
The flower of life opening up before the eyes
Joy of life ready to taste
Winding paths eagerly tread,
Randomly taken on a whim of mind
Pounding heart the sun pours in
Few rainy days , no gasping sighs
Eyes wide open , but temporarily blind
There comes a point unseen below
That slips beneath our restless feet.
The balance tipping, past midday
Beyond the solstice , beyond the cries
The see-saw stops it’s gentle repeat
Then looking back, where was the peak
The equilibrium that allowed me stand
To look around at all I’ve conquered
To bathe in glory, to take it in
To breathe in the settled land
Missed the moment , gone forever,
Settled in my memories eye
Fading sunset ,is it golden?
Or twilight misted time now frozen
The fulcrum points towards the sky
