Grassy Knoll Poem by Jay Aguiniga

On the high grassy knoll
I lie on this hour,
Freckles of ice
Sprinkle the midnight sky
Warming the summer breeze,
Blanketing the soul.

One is so minuscule,
Only a speck,
A dropp in the ocean.

The mind
Expands like the stars,
Our time, just a slice,
A frame in
an galactic motion picture.

In youth,
lifetime is infinity.
Minutes are hours
With age,
lifetime a beautiful sunset,
a mere minute,
That fades before your eyes.

With a sigh, I stand
I descend, morning comes stealin.
Turning, an aspiration
A young man on the grassy knoll.
