The sea roles on <br />Oak and palm reflect the wind <br />The petals bloom and fall <br />Traces the mind and recall <br /> <br />When the time clicks <br />Slip the moments slime <br />Countless years ago <br />Began the chase with daring smile <br /> <br />The teenager smiled in an infant <br />The adult shaped with an individual’s mind <br />What once was yours now another’s due <br />And you exchanged with something new <br /> <br />Smirking the stubborn eternity <br />We find our daily task <br />Binding the spirits with chores <br />Changed Today in Yesterday <br />Where many Tomorrows due <br />Then in a date if significantly flew <br /> <br />In some months and years <br />The decades follow and death nears <br />The physical beauty mirrored <br />Staring wrinkled eye and lips curled.<br /><br />Abha Sharma<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/swapping-beauty-with-time/
