It fades
It washes away
It is leeched slowly

The Halcyon days
Turned to Halcion nights

The wonder of the world
Stained mundane with time

Potential narrowed down
To the eventually probable

Timeless summer days ground
Into endless winter nights

Freedom of exploration
Chained in responsibility

The innocence of life
Taken with experience

It is leeched slowly
It washes away
It fades

Structure, message and mood all come together. Nice

I really liked this one. The message is at first a bit cryptic, but it gradually makes itself clear. Nitpicker that I am, I must say that I felt that certain stanzas should have been grouped together, because they had similar thoughts in them. I know you were trying to keep the form of the text, but still. In specific:

"The Halcyon days / Turned to Halcion nights"

and

"Timeless summer days ground / Into endless winter nights"

"The wonder of the world / Stained mundane with time"

and

"The innocence of life / Taken with experience"

"Potential narrowed down / To the eventually probable"

and

"Freedom of exploration / Chained in responsibility"
