Forgotten Field of Forever

the field is no longer there where all of youth and ego collided and her first glance was seen but shied from all to be born in a thousand recollections the field is no longer there where near dusk I sat alone blurring through November's naked branches lamenting another summer passed the field where I killed an attacking tree sidearm from thirty yards dead center no one saw but no one needed to it happened the field is no longer filled with fights and fun and bragging and just hanging out talkin bout how Joe's brother could press a 100 or how Cyndy's boobs were huge nothing of importance was left to be conjured one day I drove away and when I went back it was gone but like that smile I shied from never really gone

Hello Craig, You evoked a stark sense of nostalgia and loss. I loved the aspect of youth, fleeting moments, and the passage of time in your verses. Each stanza unfolded for me like a bittersweet memory. A wonderful reflection—to cherish the moments we have before they become memories. - Blessings, Daniel

nicely done Craig, reminded me when my sons were young I took them to Ohio to see my elementary school and when we got there it was just a pile of bricks...

Yet - not in our memories Frederic! Mine still there but an empty shell waiting to be repurposed...
