Pearls and Pewter

Folder: 
And Time Goes By

The day is long,

the years short;

my mind whips freely,

probing for regrets

and dreams I

never pursued.

Like pearls and pewter,

emotions are mixed;

yet I remain within a range

that I can know and understand,

never venturing out

to reason the storms which,

through time, have

only buried my treasures deeper;

and I have grown accustomed

to the winds.
