Yesterday's Joy

To find youth has fled, to see the years pass While we move through time that's stationary and as we dream in its reflecting glass The mind grows older and sedentary Yesterday's ghosts haunt us in defiance As they ring our heart's bell to hear it chime Recalling memories, breaking silence Whisper vibrations with untethered rhyme Life and time come to see dusk and dawn merge and enter a world of twilight in peace To feel the universe within converge These calling ghosts with their tentacles cease To grasp moments in the memories held To grow old as years pass, unparalled contest Pick a Title..Yesterday's Joy 10/22/14
