Voices whisper through the ether
All that's past, so long ago,
Memories of distant places
Some forgotten, some to know
I recall those days of splendour
When the world was deemed sublime
When the cherry blossom lingered
In my heart and fixed in time
Love was young and life eternal
Rich the wine from ag'ed vines
Fresh the wind and sweet the honey
Warm the sun that ever shines
But through time such mem'ries languish
Fading with the dying sun
Many gone, no more to cherish,
Past, forgotten, ever done
Now the night grows darker, darker,
Long the shadows cast below
Cold the sun and deep the waters
As through all the valleys flow
Recollections there as phantoms
Fixed within illusions' store
All things lost and all things broken -
Memories forevermore
Memories are what we hold on to, they can make us cry make us happy, they can put a smile on our face for the day. A fantastic poem.
Love was young and life eternal Rich the wine from ag’ed vines Fresh the wind and sweet the honey Warm the sun that ever shines. Beautiful lines. It is the fond memories that makes life worth living. Thank you.
Stunning write, heartfelt and so moving with a beautiful flow and rhythm! !
So what that I read it before. I will say it again 'Beautiful-simply beautiful!
We cling to the memories Val. They contain the essence, not of what we were, but the essence of what made us what we are. Sometimes they may overwhelm us in nostalgia, but we must regret nothing. The days of splendour, the times of laughter, these will sustain us no matter how dark the present may be. This is a beautiful poem, heartfelt, written with deep emotion and definitely one to keep.
