Close your eyes and take a breath,
Inhale deeply,
relax,
exhale,
think,
look at the birds flying over your head,
how rapidly they fly,
they are the birds of time,
take a second breath and age has dawned,
once it was bright,
almost floral,
smelling fragrant,
Breathe in again,
in the blink of your pretty eyes it's gone,
your eyes lost their sparkle,
your hair has gone grey,
and you fight to beat it,
but you never can!
