Poem written for and submitted to Constance La France's "Yellow, Yearn, Yet, Yesterday Words Contest," 4/17/2024

“Yesterday is but today's memory, and tomorrow is today's dream.” Khalil Gibran ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In new spaces, echoes of yesteryears reside, A tapestry woven with whispers, untied. Unfamiliar winds, carrying tales of old, Silent mysteries within tales unfold. Brushed by hands that once held dreams so gold, The heart's vast chambers, memories hold. Yet, the path is forged with steps anew, Leaving shadows of the past to gently strew. Ancient whispers, soft but never old, In unseen corners, their tales are told. Whence the soul was set on fire and bold, Now a flicker, yet a story to be retold. Time dances in rhythm with life's grand reel, Each step forward a touch of what's real. Unveiling new spaces, the heart now feels, Echoes of gold, the past's art reveals.

Beautifully ruminating in memories of yesterday-- echoing the past in voice of the present--splendid write, Sara.--Time dances in rhythm with life's grand reel, Each step forward a touch of what's real. Unveiling new spaces, the heart now feels--- Lovely!

I like your images of past stories as shadows, whispers and echoes, things beyond entering, yet holding art, contrasting with stepping forward in what is real today that you can touch and feel. Time is a mystery. J :)

Sara B, Reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. It is so great that God is in control of time so it will dance in rhythm because if humankind was in control, it would have gone amuck a long time ago. Thanks for sharing your talent with us and for dropping by my page. Sara K
