I looked Back

Dry rot ate the steps of wood
All the places I had stood
Brambles pad the path and yard
Abandon hangs a sad façade

Uncaring stared the moon on high
Uncertain seemed the winds to sigh
And silent trees laid ghostly shade
Like painted Halloween brocade

Haphazard hang the cobweb frills
From hollow windows empty sills
And only sorrow gorged the glean
Mocking me with every scene

Dissolved away in simple truth
Past relics of my naïve youth
And queasy loads my ducts with tears
And heavy grows the weight of years

The past is gone, a sad amen
This bitter sweet will not again

Dear Seymour,

Thanks for looking back on the bitter sweet.  I now would like to see you write another beautiful poem on: "Looking Forward!"

Looking Forward to your "Looking Forward!"

"And silent trees laid ghostly shade

Ah Sir, it's a beaut! Fairly drips with sadness.
