Blue eyes -
Once bright
And sparkling,
Flashing to and fro,
Watching,
Taking it all in.
Now,
The sparkle gone;
The tiredness obvious;
What memories
Behind those
Behind those
Blue eyes,
No longer bright,
No longer sparkling.
Blond hair -
Thinning,
A spot balding;
Endearing.
Now,
No longer blond -
When did the gray
Become more prominent?
The balding spot
Filling your head?
You shuffle
Down the walk,
Slower and slower -
Steps once quick and sure,
No longer sure;
Which way to turn?
Did the eyes see...
Did the eyes see...
When
You became...
Older?
Older?
When
Life
Slowed down...
Life
Slowed down...
A slower pace?
How long 'til slow
Becomes slower...
Becomes slowed...
Becomes...
Stopped?
Do the eyes know...
How long before
Stopped?
Do the eyes know...
How long before
You no longer go...
On your own?
So much of life behind;
How much is left ahead?
How much?
The eyes of time -
They see...
So much!
They know...
So much!
The eyes of time...
