Yesterday No More
remnants of yesterday
unraveled cob webs
fly and wreck inside the head
of energy lost to waste
for a memory is never the same
the avenues reroute
and rumble as thunder
or play a favorite tune
lost memento's of the wonder years
where love opened as a rose
and the dew lay moist, on morning's light
valuable morsels to savor, til death
secrets held dearly, separated by a Vail
now cold ashes of fires, embers gone like smoke
telltale traces of once upon a time
for your reflections of then are different than mine
the visions fade with age and hide in the horizon
like the song of your heart, inbetween beats
the melody of your life shines in your mind
a treasure chest that only you own
the key holder until death calls you home.
