Closer We Get, the Farther We Look Back

Closer We Get, The Farther We Look Back Sad dying embers of yesterday's feast interest and feed me not in the least For the hearty joys that future shall give heartens me to strive forever to live Great memories of my family's past flow blessedly with me until the last Into the dark void my soul may soon fly my past good and bad I will not deny Returning often in my long night dreams she of ravishing beauty, skin of creams Memories of loves that took a wrong turn yet with it all, my restless mind still yearns Closer we get, the farther we look back cherish our memories we stay on track Robert Lindley REVISED..
