When the heart is young and vibrant,
People fall in love;
Happy couples
Waltz in the moonlight,
Make promises
Sealed with kisses.

But time
Is an ever-flowing river
Winding its way
Beneath many dark bridges.

Eyes that shine in idyllic youth
Later grieve
When such sweet fruit
Has withered on autumn vines.

Uriah Hamilton
