Sandra Adams Poet Free verse

Collage of Juncture

a once vibrant, now discolored rose,
a memory of past that faded too fast
now teeters atop an old photo
my fingers stumble past it knowing
if touched its petals would crumble
it's a perpetual reminder
of how fragile life really is

the wedding photo, young lovers exchange
promises of heart till death do them part
beneath the folds of broken dreams
through my eyes it seems they belong
protected and framed within glass
yet i wonder are they ashamed
as they join together in the beyond

my childhood through the ages
a race of past, pages of life
fading to death amidst my walls
this collage of juncture can puncture
my own heart as i remember
each memory of time passing

Michael Ainsley November 10, 2013 at 3:51 PM Tis to true Sandra; Yet if you live in the moment where there is no future or past you will be happier and your life will be full. Ofcourse we have memories. loves etc. but only if we keep them in their proper place can we truly create the next adventure and look through the eyes of love again. So many moments to be kind to discover to love. Like seeing everything each day for the first time. Make your moments golden.
