Why Must We Leave Our Youth Behind? Poem by Timber Koleden
Why Must We Leave Our Youth Behind?
In youthful springs, my laughter bloomed in light,
Beneath the budding trees I forged my dreams,
But now with autumn's chill, I face the night,
As tender hope dissolves in silent streams.
I trace the echoes of a timeless song,
Whose notes once danced on days of endless play,
Yet time, relentless, drifts where I belong,
And weaves its frost upon my fleeting day.
The winters of my age now carve deep scars,
While memories like petals softly fall,
I wander 'mid the ghosts of distant stars,
Bound by seasons' ever-changing call.
What price this fleeting march of sun and rain?
Do years unravel secrets left untold?
I question if my grief may not be vain,
As time, a phantom, steals the life I hold.
Still, in twilight's realm my wonder thrives,
My questions are unanswered and alone,
like those of a thousand different lives,
We all wonder why we must leave our youthful home.
