Memories


I have been here for years; tho’ there 
was never a cause to leave I still see 
desolation growing; that part of me's 
aware while even yet I can rest in the 
fey peace this locality commiserates 

There are true bones t’ these bounds 
of reason - it grew into the reality we 
embraced - coming of age when our 
family appraised farewells with same 
etiquette, and dignity as in a greeting 

And there are memories at rest here; 
they will comfort me until the day it’s 
said you reattain their rejuvenation - 
a moment where its meaning makes 
a true sphere of life’s circumference
