Where had the time gone?

Young hands were so adept at catching such things.

Between eye and mind does a wanting lie,

To be forced upon this wind blown moment forever.

Stay with me my loves a little while more,

That my weary bones may seek out thine youth.

I have caught a chill and must now withdraw,

To keep each flickering flame lit.

Now I rest this tired head upon loving hands,

And whisper secrets of decades long past.

Secrets of all the winters I have loved,

Now passed upon a wheel of time.

Oh, young minds were so adept at capturing these things,

Where has the time gone.

Winters have I loved,

Oh winter have I loved.
