Just me Crystal memories of yesterday drift in and out with a haunting sweetness. Child like giggles savoring summer waves Night winds of gayety beach pyres within a whispering haze. Grinning ear to ear, feeling old friends with a purity of thought. Laughing out loud with time their souls had bought. Feeling loves of forgotten times lost ferries of a long dormant youth. Swimming waters finding life of an aged old coot. ‘Twas a good run most will never know midnight bike rides howling at the moon. Sewing oats of youthful experiences loving loves of my life, till they swoon. It’s dog years we live my friend and life’s to short a living, So give it all you got before it winds up a given. Sew your oats a quickly and run to the nearest tree carve you name within it’s bark put her name and then say just me. I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel. |

This one flows really well and the word choices are excellent. My favorite lines are "Laughing out loud with time/their souls had bought." The nostalgic bug seems to be catching around here. Wonderful work, Joel the wolf. |

Dad, I too howl with past memories both good and bad, and I too miss that zest from youth. We still have it, it just isn't as RAW as it used to be. I'd have loved to know you then!! LOL Melancholy in small doses is good hon, just don't live or hide in the past. Love ya big fella!! I'll tell you this...... No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn..... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |
