Poetic Interlude LXVIII

Youth
Oh, pretty little meteor,
Burning hot and bright!
Consuming all in front of you;
Crashing through the night -
Why, every eye on Earth’s on you:
You captivate the scene.
Enjoy the envy of the few -
Add lustre to your gleam.
Whatever shall become of you,
Burning hot and fast?
They gaze until you fade from view,
Winking at the last
