Past and Present

Walking down memory lane,
Reminiscing everything with haze,
With all that had been before,
And what it has become of now.

The wind the way it used to rage,
And how it turned into a craze,
All the flowers that blossomed before,
Have now, withered to the core.

The once bright and clear rays,
That fell and lit up every place,
And now a dull beam of light,
Where it falls, no one knows.

The shadows behind us all the way,
Being there whether sad or gay,
Leaving us now and going astray,
Where they will go, is unknown till this day.

Your poem explains, 'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" beautifully... Thank you, these are words of beauty to be very proud of in a humble sort of way

This is marvelous Fiona. Everything does grow hazy with time, and when we see a reminder and look back...well you've penned it masterfully. I look forward to more of your work. My best, Charlie
