Reminiscence

Fragments of the past and their once lurid glow
Begin to dissipate and fall into obscurity
They fade increasingly into the long perspective
This state of letting go, I've grown to truly loathe

They begin to slowly erode, and as they start to wither like a tree in winter's hold
The brilliance of those countless days are now reducing to shades of pale grey

All the memories I held, so beloved in my mind
Disappear they cease to feed the hunger in my soul
Never did I want to let go
Yet I must now wonder why
What were these to me? I just can't see it anymore

These fragments and these remnants
Once held so dearly yet they have succumbed
And yielded to the ravages of time
Sight has been long lost in this once radiant sky with elation
Now reduced to shades of pale grey

All I loved, and all I held so dear
The recollections from this life, so fleeting, passed me by
Like the leaves that turn and then they fall
Are they truly bound to never return to me at all?

All the memories I held, so beloved in my mind
Disappear they cease to feed the hunger in my soul
Never did I want to let go
Yet I must now wonder why
What were these to me? I just can't see it anymore
