Ephemeral

There was a time
When I used to feel
That life was just beginning
All the time, I felt
There is so much to explore
Back in my spring
And my summer
That lasted eons

I guess now,
Autumn has set in
And I fear how little time
I have left
To savor, to enjoy
All that the world has to offer

On a chilled, foggy day
Walking the frosted streets
All by myself
Wrapped up in my own thoughts

I lament
How late
I discovered
The joy
Of such days
The oneness
That gloom brings
The way it draws you
Unto yourself
And concentrates your essense
Inside, within

And so little time,
So little
To enjoy days like this
To enjoy
Thoughts
Bubbling
And percolating

Life, so magnified
When you stop living
On the fast lane
