In the silent of night a tear falls from my eye
as I remember memories of days gone by.
Memories that once were so real in my mind
but I surrender to my tears, as I try to find
the moments to my lost years.
Silently I retrace the steps of yesterday
I retread the path I took along the way.
Remembering my rights and all my wrongs
I surrender to my tears, as I sing the songs
to the moments of my lost years.
Silent clouds cast over like shadows in my mind
laying gently down leaving the past far behind.
Sweetly the past holds so many a dream
I surrender to my tears, as I try to redeem
the moments to my lost years.
Soon the silent of night becomes the silent of morn'
as I remember how the memories lay so torn.
Memories once so warm but now grown so cold
I will surrender to my tears, as I try to hold
the moments to my lost years.
Please tell me what you think

Oh Dear Jeff, this is a sorrowful poem, full of yearning for something lost and never to be regained.
It’s leaking with melancholy but also I feel a sort of acceptance that those years are lost, they have been lived and we must move on. This poem also holds a personal message for me too.

Superb write Jeff, loved the title drew me in, inspiring yet underlined in sadness.

I think I just missed you. This is lovely and lyrical Jeff, but sad too. Is this what you meant by what your last IM said? Take heart - we all go to dark places sometimes - it will be a little lighter day by day. x Deb
