What for so many years had seemed
So long ago, so far away
In a place I thought I’d left behind
During a time I felt I’d never find
Comes such peace
my heart now imagines
That long ago; That far away.
Returns now and then, again
So quietly and
I find a tear escapes
To roll gently, sadly, almost kindly
Rolls down my weary mind, my soul entwined
Rolls past all the tragedies and jubilees
Recalling all the youth, both known and not
Of both love and not quite, now so sure, so true
True, now, but memories.
Never at a loss for words...
