August slipped away….

The lovely sunny days and birthdays,

the sweet smell of ice cream and the ocean,

the laughs and joys of childhood,

all washed away with the waves.

I used to collect little treasures,

every time we went to the beach,

when I was a child.

I had a collection of seashell treasures,

now lost and gone with time.

Older and wiser,

but still learning new things each waking moment.

So I take a deep breath and close my eyes,

as I feel the time flowing by.

August slipped away….

And it shall slip away again and again with time.

A shatteringly lovely reminder that,

time truly doesn’t wait.
