Simply Youth

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Some days I sit and wonder,
where you are? Where you’re going
and if you ever think of me?

I dig into this gray mass, exerting force
and rearranging our times past.
Simple, yet bent . . . youthful memories.

Glancing over my memory/menagerie.
Grasping the glimpse that continues
beyond this frame.

Pulling an aged photo free.
Curled paper thoughts, the
edges damp from tears.

Even now, sear my heart forever,
your voice singing to me
calming all my fears.

Still loving you . . .

Janet, glad you're posting again. I like the language and imagery in this poem.

Thank you for your good wishes on my crazy mess. The judge ruled against my ex and has told him "no more stalling."
