Feelings
It is so true that feelings fly
And only for a moment stay,
‘Til song or memory has died,
And time has washed them all away
Like sunlight peeking over storm,
They come so welcoming and warm,
Before retreating to the clouds
Where neither warmth nor light are found
But as they fly and take their turn,
Within our hearts, they sink and burn,
In hopes their fleeting fire will leave
Undying embers never to recede
Alas, it’s true that feelings fade;
They come and go without concern,
Until our hearts are old and gray,
And time has taught us what we could not learn.
