Where Did I Go?

It whispered From afar its sutble tones lay On a bed of acceptance Pillows tossed away the heat Competing against the harsh winter Where grey found its way And south was the compass point A mane that once tested wind Now lay among a barbers tread Coin handed for less chore As nods of reflection Bows with the brow And body limply rises from the chair For age slips unnoticed From behind an invisible cloak Once a vibrant image Where fear held no quarter And dare danced free Tears now weep in silence Minds race through catalogues Titled, where did you go? Recalling a thousand memories Of the good and the bad As fingers navigate A well worn face Come back to me! A desperate cry departs But no-one listens Another day goes by!
