Remember When

Memories, so many scratching at my brain So many to ponder, just wondering why things can't be the same But silly of me to conjure such thoughts Desperately grasping for the past when flux is the corridor the creator wrought So, this path I must continue to travel Meandering through the sweet joys and struggles as the knot of life unravels Remember when time just seemed to stand still? Not wanting the moment to end because everything was so surreal Remember when everything seemed so easy even though we knew they were not? Working, living, playing, learning, loving, and all idiosyncrasies we simply forgot The laughter and cries; the joy and pain We lived earnestly and courageously, never showing an inkling to complain Sweet memories and reflections I will carve a space in my mind and heart But the travel down this corridor must continue, where new experiences will soon become old memories and an ending a new start
