When

When did the snowfall
Lose it’s magic?
When did the night sky
Commence to look small?

It was when I grew up…

When did the past
Become so tragic?
When did the shadows
Start to fall?

It was when I grew older…

When did the sunset
Lose it’s wonder?
When did the sunrise
Lose it’s ability to awe?

It was when I grew old and jaded…

When did people’s names
Become so hard to remember?
When did I lose
The love of September?

I think… I think it was when I got older still….

When did I start crying
At the smallest sad thing?
When did my memory
Begin to take wing?

I think it was….I’m almost sure it was…
But I can’t exactly….
remember just when
