Fade Out

Can you still taste the flavors of that apple you ate ten years ago
And hear the river nestling against the rocky embankment?
Or does that day no longer exist in your memory?
Have you already forgotten?

I guess inevitability made its way into your heart
And took the place of your emotions
Which you sent packing.

Did you even notice how they slipped out of your mind -
How they left this house empty?

Perhaps you needed to tidy up your home in order to make room for new things.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
