Phases


I often go back to the old places
where my footprints have long been washed away-
from times I knew and forgot the faces
remnants and ashes of a yesterday.

And if someone were to tell me it was all a dream I made
if I did not go back, I just might believe-
the mind plays tricks, memories will fade
time gone past, difficult to conceive.

And somewhere in a time not yet known or seen
it will be this very moment I'll be returning to-
tomorrow takes now and dissolves it to dream
today just passed away
and no one even knew.

Dixie,

I love the new picture and I really liked your expressed meditations here.

God bless you both.

hmmmm, your dead on, made me ponder the many days, I spent feeling so badly b/c of the losses, now only realizing, how utterly foolish I was to hang on, and not simply look for the good in everything lost...

hugs to ya for this not only awakening right, but also very well composed.

How true this write is Dixie.
Most excellent indeed.

Don't bring me down now,
let me stay here for awhile
You know life's too short,
let me bathe here in your smile.

*sigh*  .... too quickly it is gone and only in the mourning do we realize the loss~
