A Distant Memory
Breaching the doors of a monochromatic memory;
Stretched thresholds drifting deranged sensory,
Of a time when the clocks ticked more generously,
Of a time when billowing wildflowers kissed in revery.
Peace were like doves, casting their grace along skyline
Always hovering over me, like an embrace of hope's light
Worry would never wrought it's ruin within the cracks
An ignorance, that were blissful, that hid in the spine my back.
A time, within a memory, that only existed for a moment.
Childish banter were like cardinal songs, brought from laughter
An arbor of timeless enrichment, stagnant in time forever
Of a time when the clocks ticked more generously
Of a time when billowing wildflowers kissed in revery.
Everything that ever was, were, and to be
It never mattered, never a second, you and me
Like drifting dreams, in the pleasantry of clouds
Like shifting streams, in the passing of the minute.
In time, when dust returned to mother soils
Would we remember the impart of our souls
The life of adventure, that blazed our story
Of when a childhood was truly a childhood.
A time, within a memory, that fled us like fools
