In a Faded Photo

Darkness has swiftly fallen and caught me unaware. Upon an unknown path in the middle of despair. The footsteps I hear behind me are the ghosts of yesteryear. Lights that use to guide my way seem to all have disappeared. Foggy are the memories that once had held a smile. In a faded photo stands a weathered man where once there stood a child. 2/14/20

Thank you Vijay! Sometimes when we look at old photos of ourselves it's difficult not feel a bit melancholy!
