Of Once Could Be

I am the thoughts of once could be
It says so my directory
Here in the back it says small print
On this day you struck this flint

A spark that lasted just so long
Rather bright and rather strong
It lit a world within a day
A world you chose but not to stay

Now it is an arrow head
Sticking out a thing that’s dead
And no amount of would you more
Can bring you back this dusty door

How often do we pine and flail
These sip of wine to sooth our bale
But gone is gone this field of range
And time is time and change is change

But old is old and cold is cold
And panning past will not pan gold

Very poignant, Seymour, but respectfully, I have to add that there may indeed be nuggets of gold in the shapes of memories and forms of lessons.  Awesome write, my friend.  A very happy and peaceful 4th to you and your love.

Sound, and most sage words, dear Sy...
'tis why we forget the sad, forget the cries,
and keep the gift of laughter, near,
so we know we have nothing to fear...

Well here you are Sy!
They changed the room number and I thought I had lost you.
Wonderful write today..
I guess since it is afternoon
if we lived in England I could invite you to 'high tea'?
But, it is a holiday weekend..
perhaps something a little stronger?
May you and yours have a wonderful and safe Fourth!
~Hugs & Smiles and Cold drinks, Nancy~

the old age of lessons learned sometimes causes lines in the heart that not even botox can fix?

Hugs to you for such a poignant write
