Old Songs

I hear old songs
And remember old days,
And long for those old nights,
And realize that time,
Long passed by…
Is too old to walk back

But the playlist rounds and rounds
Like the leaflet drifted on the street
Looking for its path
Onto where the wind would lift
Always coming back to my feet.

There to me plays your laugh
The rhythms of your touch
But the echo of my name
You tenderly spoke in the rain
How I wish to play again.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
