Yesterday Seems to be…

Yesterday seems to be a lifetime ago.

So many memories lost now in the silence of snow.

Gray now is the white areas amidst the quiet hush…

Swirling, drifting evermore in the depth of yesterday’s touch.

Faces of the past are like dreams, intangible and in reality unseen.

Their voices still echo in the dark chambers of my mind.

Names unattached, faces unseen, only ancient memories now from another time.

Oh yesterday seems…oh the silence of snow.

Memories like dreams coalesce as the darkness grows.

I see them, I hear them, but of them I no longer even know.

Oh yes, yesterday to me seems to be a lifetime ago.
