Memories Gone

Blank images of times gone by
invisibly reflecting opaquely within.
Expecting a response, but none given.
Empty pages turned, why?
Nothing said.  Nothing read.

Like an extinguished light
Or the flip of a switch
In total darkness, like at night.
Years, as life, slip away
Unable to locate any fond memories
Searching within, still nothing to say.
