Was It So Long Ago

Was it 50 Falls ago or one year, when rose colored rooms with pink sunsets were either real or the tint from my eyesight? Were nights darker or did time seem to move slower with houses twinkling in distant meadows uprooted emotions floating on air looking for love in the moonlit bleakness? Was it fear or wonderment at not having known a man, for so long paralyzing words between my lips? Can a heart be taken back once it is given? Can things unspoken be said? 11/18/18 STRAND SELECT E 1st place Sponsor, Brian Strand
