Awake Thy Awareness

We are gone
Taken all away
Nothing left to touch
Remember what they would say?

“Realize your youth,
It burns ever hour
Ending a melted puddle
Sinking from your power”

Now we blink and gape in awe
It happened so fast,
Only a sparkle on a rippled reflection
We never thought, to think it wouldn’t last

What did they foresee?
How could have they conveyed,
This wretched and loathly finish of you and me,
When all they would say...

“Realize your youth,
It burns ever hour
Ending a melted puddle
Sinking from your power”

Beautiful piece ... i see a greatness in you once again, punchiering through the surface of a complete connection .... boiling beneath with madness ... for you .... to be heard. Your heard. Wonderfully done. [D&A]

Youthfulness is fleeting...that's why older folk look back on the "good ol days" with regret in their eyes for not making more of their youth. Excellent poem.
