A TANKA PROSE envelope

Slowly, nostalgia trickles into torrents,to flood memory's canyon
Crystal clear,vision's backward gaze .All future certainty lies in the past, often distant memories linger fleeting and ephmeral is the dream.Yesterday's hero,a today's has-been,all perspective,out of true;twenty,twenty embellishes hind-sight .Experience forgotten wastes away superficiality now has its day..
on the wind a bell tolls memories surface words unerased- the image fades

I love the prose and followup tanka (not so much the first one). It has a very compelling uniform theme in the latter two components of the tanka prose that complements one other.

Now that I know what I am looking at, I can appreciate the skill that went into it.
