Ever and Ever

I wonder where the time has gone,
As memories fade,
And life goes on forever,
ever and ever.

I wonder where the children go,
A solemn march,
A winter’s glow an ember,
June through September.

Feeling the changing, changing seasons,
Following the ashes of my reason,
Only now it’s just an ember,
A tiny spark of light,
then I remember.

I wonder where my childhood’s gone,
The places I knew,
A summer song through December,
then I remember.

I wonder how we passed our days,
The endless moments,
A distant haze forever,
ever and ever.

Feeling the bite of a winter’s day,
Chasing our dreams further away,
Only now it seems like September,
An autumn breeze in an April sun,
then I remember…

    I really didn't feel like this piece gave me a glimpse of any specific memories of childhood - it's not really what I was looking for.

    I think this would probably work nicely as song lyrics. You made a good use of repetition, but I think that this style of repetition is more suited to music and not so much just straight poetry. I really liked the line "Following the ashes of my reason." Thanks for sharing!

    Not really any hard-and-fast editorials...
    - line 7 is slightly confusing, to me at least.
    And I think that's all.

    I will comment more on the content of the poem when judging the contest. I appreciate your entry

    Well done poet, truly enviable resplendence! The rhythm and flow of this piece coupled with the voice; was exquisite to say the least. I dare say this deserves gold.

    The good ole days...you just miss 'em don't you?
    Sometimes I just think about when I was 5, I never had so many burdens. I'm only 14, so I guess when I'm 22 I'll be wishing I was 14 once again.
    Where did your childhood go? That's simple--it's stuck in the past It'll always remain there and it can never come back, only by memory. That's the sad thing. We wish to be older when we are younger and then all of a sudden we're older and we want to be younger again. LOL it's a never ending process
    It's a good write, very nice.

    Thanks for entering
