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!
