The flickering light

Fantasy frequently fades
into the tender
shattered shades of time .
as the petals
of the present
pass their prime .
And willingly
wither away
into the
youthful yearnings
for yesterday .

Author's Note

I call it flickering light because the present is a flickering light slowly burning out into the past.

In life you have to deal with change time doesn’t care for what is gone . It just goes on you just have to learn how to move with it and enjoy the moment before it fades back into the pastures of the past.

[John the Baptist]

Good observation here, also good alliteration. The yearnings for yesterday don't stop with youth.
