Where are They Now?

The youthful days 
of hopeful dreams 
and tears that trickled 
into streams? 

Love that flourished 
in the sun 
and faded 
as quickly as it had begun? 

Where are they now, 
the incense prayers, 
high as hopes 
to one who cared? 

The carefree days 
of fearless whims, 
the joy of voicing 
songs and hymns? 

Where are they now 
the closest friends, 
who said that 
friendship never ends? 

They're hidden within 
my dream-filled sleep; 
the sands of time 
have buried them deep.
