I love the way you have formatted this. As for the content, life does go too fast so I suppose the trick is to enjoy it while we can!

All the best

I like the juxtaposition in connotations associated with 'bitter' and 'warm'

I too wanted to comment on the "bitter warm" part, as I think that was clever and intentional, almost a sense of loss and wonder in knowing how quickly seasons seem to change.

Beautiful piece, short but budding with hope and promise!
