Yearning State of Mind

It only takes a tiny drop to touch and stir a placid pond Little recollections that wake and shake the blues in your silent heart As gentle winds carry away The Sands of Time before your tearful eyes Passing by like a breeze are The Moments impossible to bring back It only takes a little rain to garb and gloss an ugly uneven path Fine drizzles dab and pat the track that bare your soul and its crack You can’t hold forever The Indelible Times that slipped out of your hands Grey shades and shadows you can’t bridle but are ever fixed to you and I It only takes a metal or a wooden frame to eternalize a mortal soul Every photograph is an eternal time machine, a sonnet to tether time Your life is another diary out in the world, Shared Memories put down Nostalgia wanders the universe like grains of sands from shore to shore It only takes the break of day to fold darkness and shut out the stars Sudden burst of sunrays begins to flirt and fondle your skin as you lie When Good Memories return sometimes you want to summon the night You know heaven or hell won’t open up for your yearning state of mind
