Nostalgia

An Original Poem

Time

We kill it

Time

We kill it

We waste it

Then we regret it

-------

An all-encompassing entity

That rips at our very core

Then satisfies with sweet memories

A blaze of brilliant light

And a ball of deepest darkness

-------

Nostalgia for those days of old

Hits hard the mind

And prices the soul

Like an indefinable high

-------

The playing of a song

From those old, school days

Meeting an acquaintance after decades

It all rushes back like floodwaters

-------

There may be a longing

To regain what cannot be regained

And a sadness by its side

But take comfort in recalling

The joy that was once your time
