Memories

Under the canopy of the sky

Meandering thoughts of times gone by

Cherished moments surface and wane

As starlight ebbs then seen again

Some linger on and stay awhile

Memories sweet memories beguile

 

A whiff of all that could have been

Of what now lies within unseen?

A waft too brings the sounds of cries

To blurring vision and mushy eyes

Some linger on and stay awhile

Memories sweet memories beguile

 

Some spoken words to drum the ear

To squeeze the heart a feeling queer

Oh what but if, it just could be

Not this way my destiny

Some linger on and stay awhile

No memories sweet, only beguile
