time passes,
hour by hour,
minutes fly.
and life with it.
Aging in years,
losing the seconds, in
those fleeting moments,
carelessly spent,
until the clock stops,
and time stands still.
As do I

With each flickering flame, my years unfold
Tapering down, leaving days of untold
Dripping memories, of past events
Happier times, still I’m not quite content
Candelabra in hand, a welcoming light
The fire, still burning, with no end in sight
Celebrating the day, reaching for more
Wondering what this life has in store
As closer to Halloween, comes the time
Knowing I still haven’t yet reached my prime
So, I’ll blow out the candles, let the wax seal my fate
On this day in October, 2016, twenty-eight
In case you haven’t figured it out, today is my birthday. I am taking the day to relax and enjoy. I’ll be sure to save you some cake 🙂
