Remembering Another Time

By Donna RyanPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

Here, in the present

The light of day dims

Into the soft folds

Of shadows, shadows

That capture and lull

The music, so beautiful

Like a momentary glimmer -

Sharp yet indistinct

In the shade of yesteryear

Where love finds a tune

And the heart beats

Freely

Where the world dazzles

The senses

And everything shines

With expectation

Where has time gone?

How did it evade me?

Now I live in that world

That future –

Once imagined

Remembering instead

What life once meant

The essence of youth

Subtly felt

Like the cool rustle

Of autumn

Intoxicating

Yet distant

And sad

Time leaves its mark

On the soul

Like the pink of a sun

Painted

Just before darkness

Just before it is time

To go home
