I looked

I looked through the doors and windows
Through my wrinkles and greys
I could swear you were just here
I can still smell your presence
I am still learning the lessons
There you are;
Staring at me
Red, shimmering and bold
Under the pile of paper

My youth, my past, my present
My childhood album

    1. Brian I agree. So true even looking back old poems can remind you from where you started and where you have reached. :)

  8. I swear you were just there... I feel like that at times, especially when I am riding my horse (I had a pony when I was young). Nicely done.
