"Yesterday, seems so far away" and so different from today As we look in rose-colored mist where memories fondly exist Alas, the truth so often lies Hidden deeply in clouded skies Or, painted as a golden leaf A somewhat truth in Bas Relief

I really like the mist that covers your reflections in 'long-ago-and-far-away-ness.' ~ Gershon

Hi Gershon! I can remember hearing the Beatles singing it. I'm pretty sure it was written when Yoko and John had broken up for a short time. Thanks for commenting!

Pretty poem Ann. I actually have a poem title in my head that finds inspiration from a McCartney tune. We'll see if it develops

I enjoyed reading your "Yesterday" write. Your first line is priceless. Yes, so far away. Have a wonderful day writing away..................
