Letters

Reading letters of the past
Have caught me in a web of cast
Taken me to phantoms wood
To things I thought I understood.

Although the words are still the same
Yet now they sport a different frame
They seem to lance a different prance
The nuance seems a different dance

Could be the heart has not stood still
But added motes of sapid frill
Quotes and odor distilled the years
The lifting of the weight of fears

The eyes the same the feel and stay
But time has left a point’s touché.
And flame has withered into store
And I have lost the feel of awe

God help us with embellishment
And what in time was really meant.

Good morning, T-Man!

I do so know what you mean! I have felt the very same way when I have gone into my treasure trove of letters. Perspectives do change with the increased understanding we gain during our maturation process!

Have a glorious day!

I’ve reread letters myself
Taking them from the box on the self
To remember how it felt then
To return me to that when
But as I read each line
I know it's tainted with time
And I just reading to myself

You'd think the alphabet
would stay in the same place
...
but a mind weaves wonders,
doesn't it?

Old letters are like old photographs...bring back good and bad memories...and tears are brought by both....missing the good times, remembering the bad times....

Thought provoking fersure Sy....well done..

"Could be the heart has not stood still"

The same thing is not the same when the heart is moving as it will...and it should.

Loved this wise piece of your morning thought, my friend.

Although the words are still the same
Yet now they sport a different frame
They seem to lance a different prance
The nuance seems a different dance
and I wonder why it is we savor them...

always a pleasure to read you, SY

Loved this one, Seymour.  It is so true how when we go back and read things from earlier years, we see them so much differently.  Much enjoyed your phrasing.   ....jo
