Forever
A poem about how quickly a lifetime passes.
Forward faith,
finding footing,
fearing failure.
Fabled future? Fairytale.
Favor? Fortune? Folly.
Finding friends,
fighting for family,
freeze forever.
Filling frames,
feeling full,
features fading.
Forever felt fast.

Hall of mirrors
Things used to matter, before all the noise. And at that time when things still had meaning, there had been dreaming too, when dreams still mattered. And the brightest dream from those times was full of mountains and seas and smiles and the types of passion that absorbs you the way a dog is absorbed by witnessing something for the first time: with absolute presence, and awe.

This is a beautiful and thought-provoking poem about the fleeting nature of life. The use of alliteration and repetition throughout the poem creates a rhythm that emphasizes the passing of time. The contrast between the beginning of life, with its uncertainty and fear of failure, and the end of life, with its memories and fading features, is particularly poignant. The line "Forever felt fast" is a powerful statement on the nature of time and how quickly it seems to pass. Thank you for sharing this lovely piece.
Does it ever!
Nice piece ❤️
