Foresters have left woodchips
And great logs to lie
By the woodland path.
Sometimes I pause and sit,
But often pass by.
And on this spring day
I see the inevitability
That all things must decay.
Yet I have sunshine
And young women and wine.
And this fleeting time.
(Doubtless this poem was influenced by Ernest Dowson)
Time certainly is fleeting!
Indeed time is fleeting, Esther. And we should use the time we have wisely. Thank you for commenting.
Beautiful poem Kevin
