Wait For Years Before You Pass A Place Again Poem by RIC BASTASA

Wait For Years Before You Pass A Place Again

Rating: 5.0


wait for years before you
pass a place again

what used to be a seed
has become a tree

the vacant place has grown
too many houses

the children have married and
hold the hands of their children too

you remember now
the years that pass like a dream

when you wake up
it is totally a strange place

you look at your feet
as ashes of memories

and you wish for now
that everything be better forgotten

the heart is full
and it cannot carry something more

love has become a burden
families merely black and white pictures
mirror faces fade, promises just air,

and you hear again
the falling of sands, soft and
too cruel.
