Faded In New

By Michael J Falotico
For "Brians Contest"

                                      
                                        My words and exressions are like faded 
                                                      pictures in a locket..                                    
                                         Like folded pieces of paper in my pocket.
                                    
                                        They are so hard to read as some letters
                                                          where set free..
                                           Although a black and white image that
                                                        for now will just be..

                                    The clarity of my intensions no longer as strong..
                                               But soon it shall breathe life and
                                                          hum a new song..

I can't think of that name when you say something like faded and new together. Someone did a contest on it once. something like a paradox, but it was different than that word. Anyway, that's what this one brings to my mind. this is a unique way to express breathing life back into the old, "Michael. Is it for a contest?

Perhaps we have something in common here, Michael. I often scribble ideas on bits of paper (even cocktail napkins) when an idea strikes. Later I look at them and wonder where I was going with them. As you say, though, the intentions meant something at the time and inspiration always comes around again. Thank you for your response. I will focus on one special person. Love, Carolyn
