[Super Smart Soccer] Drifting Through Time

Time gently rewrote the patterns. The youthful green extracted in test tubes faded to pallid gray through the long attrition. The rising sun's warmth is in the eyes that gaze at you. Stand against desolation, against time, against sharpness, against gentleness, against the aches and swelling pains of youth. The seasons turn, stripping away fragments of the human heart. The frail boy left behind in the past raises a hand to wipe away the dust. The specimen of youth, preserved on a glass slide, is finally weathered away by time's ceaseless erosion, becoming dust adrift in the universe. The particles gather into a long river of light. Just like the dreams chased on the hillside in those green years, the energy and freedom of youth. All buried in that summer. Goodbye, youth, brilliant sorrow. Goodbye, youth, eternal confusion. Goodbye, all those years drifting through time.
