the streets of memory
as I walk streets of my childhood
For the one last time
the picture show of the past
plays inside my mind
as I reminisce about the time when
I wore a younger man's clothes
It`s so easy to
grieve for what once was once
while walking along the streets
of memory past
this one last time
whether I use to wander aimlessly
or with
purposeful insight
to me
it mattered not
as it was
a time of innocence
and
a time
of childhood exuberance
I now think
how these days
shaped my future
and how quickly the
present
became the past
but for now this last time
I walk these streets
water welling in my eyes
a tourist of my childhood
with only memories
walking
by my side
