Nostalgia

It’s all but disappeared Just as I once feared No one can remember Those fragile, precious years I showed up at the door Not knowing what’s in store Clinging to the way it was But now, it is, no more Recalling days gone by I feel it when I try But unfamiliar faces Shake their heads and sigh They care not, for the past It clearly didn’t last Too busy with the present And put out that I asked I’m standing here, still Despite the way you feel My memories reside here And that is very real

I audibly sighed at the end of this. Your poetry so often reverberates so viscerally with me, whether or not I can relate to it I feel it. I hope you are well dear poetess. xomo
