Atheneum

In the labyrinth of my mind
My memory library dwells
That vaulted endless space
Where secrets quietly die
and story-spun webs
Are bound with the knots of life

Accommodating each new day
The dusty library swells 
Discarding faded pages 
‘til but snapshots remain
Of long-gone skies and
Half remembered faces
