I Was...A Long Time Ago
The globe sits on his desk
Reminder of the world he never traveled
His pocket watch forgot how to keep time
A long time ago…
His books, his letters, his journals
Captured testimony to the life he craved
And cared so much about
A long time ago…
Pictures and certificates by the score
Adorn a wall in recognition
That only he remembers why
A long time ago
The gold ring on his finger
Reminder grim that he was not alone
His silent watch won’t tick again like it did
A long time ago…
Curtains are closed the air is musty
His skin a pale shade of white
He lays restful sleep like he did
A long time ago…
Wow! This is one of your best. So poignant and well written. I was with your every word.

Somedays WILL be like this, as we gaze upon all of what we.ve been, old memories of past agos and such, then ask, "What does it all mean?"
Yeah...we'll have days like this, Fee~ but one day, we all will know! Stirs my thoughts...
Love and Peace~

Never think you are alone, never regret where you have come from, never regret lost loves, because you know that with all this comes healing and the pain lifting and you still have yourself. And that person is a very caring, beautiful human being...Please know, I am here and there are many others that share my same sentiment. Smile, breathe and love yourself...
Peace, Love, and Light,
