Hearts and Minds

Hearts and Minds By Kevin L Fairbrother They come, they go, like the sands of time Washing our soul, disturbing our mind Relentless, provoking, rocking our boat Like the ocean tide that ebbs and flows Days go by, too busy to think our past Days are full on and time is short Our years mount seven score or more Only time we have left will even the score Thoughts of the past are hard to recall But those around you prompt your thinking We may be growing older but none the wiser As the fog builds and clouds our minds But some light gets through to our darkened thoughts And in quite times, we reflect of pain and suffering When our soul and heart were scarred so deeply Then smothered by enlightened happiness of life Those memories of your forgotten past, hard to recall Etched deep and jumbled in a cluttered mind But when they present through the fog and mist Your heart and soul like a volcano awakens Your thoughts and memories live within others Your loved ones, your family and friends They never die they are always passed on To live within someone’s heart and mind
