I
Forgotten realms forgotten voices assail
The mind with pleasant thoughts from years gone past.
To think that you could run away at last…
But at the end the flow of time prevails.
II
The first to go, your mind collapses, falls
And hits the ground. A million pieces fly
Away towards the abyss where mem’ries lie
And feelings leap and tell the truth of all.
III
And then your body shakes and feels the place
Where you once were, and sorrow died for a time.
Your fingers numb, a moment so sublime
Arrives and passes by your awestruck face.
IV
And so, you sit there thinking. Then you get
A pen and paper, trying to keep the whole
Entire feeling fresh in mind and soul,
Just waiting to be written down and set.

"If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh"

Nostalgic just means the feeling of longing for experiencing some good event in the past again.

For example, if you heard a song that had been played while you were dancing with your wife to be, you might feel some nostalgia.

Thanks all for the compliments on this one.

I didn't think this poem was as good as some of your others, but nonetheless it was a wonderful read.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
