Days go by so fast
When did I last
Read a book, smell a flower
Daydream in the shower?
Can't remember. And yesterday
Is blurred- seems that way
Some memories of the past
Flash by vividly- fast
In the minds eye
In that tiny instant, I
Lose all perception
Of Time. Delicious deception
A sign of senescence?
Or joyous effervescence?
An island of joy?
A psychological toy? /
My mind's unwind?
Cruel or kind?
Whatever its goal
It caresses my soul
A smile breaks out
Within and without-
On my face aglow
Like a magic show.
If Life's a dream
Its a beautiful scheme!
