Memories

The house is quiet again,
    visitors gone home
sipping coffee alone
   recalling just yesterday
the memories shared over the years
   too quickly, time, lives, loves
all pass away
   and we find ourselves alone
in the quiet
   with all our missed recollections
of the days gone by.

I felt quite melancholic reading your lines - good to reminisce but the feeling of loneliness can be quite intense - great write DM:-) hugs Jan xx

It is nice while they are there but sometimes even nicer when they leave. Enjoy the serenity

I can feel your melancholy, DM. Always fun to reminisce. Sad but enjoyable!
