Fading Beauty

Silver streaks that catch the light

Shedding glimmers of reflected sight

Eyes that's seen the distance of time

Reminiscing over Winter nights

Spring has passed so long ago

Summer sunset two memories away

Autumn leaves lie dried on the ground

Winter wind blows through the night \s and days

Blue snow on the ground she walks

leaving footprints that soon too shall fade

Trees line the streets naked of leaves

Branches to the gray sky point the way

Fading beauty

All seasons must change

Everything with a beginning comes to and end

Fading beauty

Red wine slowly poured in glass

Like the blood that flows through aged hands

Some years past its prime she now sips

like nostalgic photographs in sand

In the mirror time won't lie

Shadows cast beneath her golden eyes

Yet she sees beyond the vision

Memories she won't let go with a sigh
