She has all the time in the world.
She can watch the seasons turn from green to gold to silver. And then be reborn. She can let the morning thicken into afternoon, dissolve into evening, blacken into night. Only to be illuminated again by day.
She can let the weeks spread themselves out as months and accumulate into years.
She can read her books, listen to her music, and smoke her weed. She can write her poetry and soften it with romance and lace it with a sweet, innocent desire.
She can see herself in the mirror and know that time will steadily improve her. She can smile as it moulds her lovely youth into elegant, compelling beauty.
She can dream and plan and hope and expect.
She is young
She has all the time in the world.
He does not.

Lovely…There are moments of bliss here on earth for when you experience times of Heaven, time is not calculated nor kept; and if it were, then what is infinite for. xo

It keeps on amazing me, getting older. When you are young, you never even feel concerned by such things. As if they could never really happen to you. Yet they do. Knowing where to go from this point is not so easy. (Men do have it easier in these matter. A small blessing granted to those who have to be strong, successful, to carry the load.) Nonetheless, sometimes I suppose it is hard for men too, to swallow these moment of Youth Envy. (yeah, I’m strangling! 🙂 )
Lovely post.
Bises,
Dawn

I dream more now than I ever did in my 20’s or 30’s, perhaps because I began to write or because something clicked inside. I enjoyed this very much.
