Faded Ages Poem by Smoky Hoss

Faded Ages

Rating: 5.0


Where do days reside?
Those faded ones
Whose light has died;
The ones of praise...and of regret
Those old, old days,
Way beyond the sunset...

Does anyone recall,
Or still alive
Who first-hand saw,
Those bygone days
Scattered far past the end,
Of the sun's long rays...

Can anyone -at all- state what fate,
Became of all those
Who once walked life's forgotten rows;
The folks of old, now laying so cold
In unremembered ages,
The earthly fallen, torn and gone, from life's short pages?

I enjoy the idea here. I used to torment myself with the thought that there was nobody in charge down here; (nobody to praise or blame; otherwise, why would things get as crazy as they so often do?) But I'm older now and I see things that once I was blind to. Your poem sort of puts some of my own thoughts into words, and I need to see that sometimes, I think; to remind me we are all rooting for each other and nobody is ever all alone down here.

Maybe they don't go anywhere. Maybe they just evaporate.
