(untitled) Poem by Amber Evans

backward flipping pages
in life's chapters
brings you to
things that should have been forgotten
pages that should have been torn out
long ago
pages filled with
shattered memories
lost in time
to the wind
never to be seen again
ever...but
there's always a shift
in direction
the world turns
bringing your past
to come and rest
right in front of you
to get back
to reach out and caress
until it melts through your fingers
until it slips away again
