Days of sunshine bright adrift,
sequestered fears enraged
in pour of wind and whimsey glib,
past the past is but to taste
fire tongues in lick of tears
of wish and swift in memory;
no gift of sweet
nor shift of rung
engaged in weave of fantasy
can warm cold waste of evermore.

Reliving the past can be like trying to catch dandelions in the wind.

You certainly don't waste your time, when you write, dear Charly. This is awesome.

Reading you is always a treat, this is no exception.
