A soft summer breeze, a gnarly old oak
Decaying leaves or cedar-tinged smoke
Can send a chill up and down my spine
Reminding me of past times, so fine
~
Haunting memories, once laid to rest
Now plague me, like an unwanted guest
How I long for those sweet days of yore
In my heart, down to my very core
~
Old ones now, were just children then
Love came and went, then came again
The world was full of laughter and play
Now it is dull and dreary and gray
~
As I trudge up life’s sorrowful hill
Amid bitter winds and wintry chill
My mind is frozen, my thoughts grow still
For the taunting ghosts have had their fill

full of memories of days gone by...reliving has such power to evoke emtions that never quite become buried deep enough. There is authentic power in living in the present...but it does present a challenge in accomplishing...great job with this piece. thank you for sharing. keep up the great work. peace and light always in ALL ways, kp
