Like looking back on friendships |
I invade my mental scrapbook holding visions of times past Where my thoughts and memories gather for recollection I go back to view them once again Open to the lightness and pleasure that they bring to me The visions dance across the screen Images of our youth flickering on the black and white film Features in the mists of my subconscious mind The music of laughter embraces us in the warmth of the sun on our faces Back before the dramatics fed animosity and confusion into the fires that fueled our lives Running boys, dancing girls The fun distracts our thoughts from the endless monotony of everyday life Our spirits go wild in the peak of our lives Together in harmony Before the differences in our souls ripped through our friendships like a blade cutting an innocent throat The brilliant smiles gathered together for the final bow Closing credits composed of the still photos of our silly faces And the film reel clicks to an end A blank white screen flickers before me The sounds of our calls echoing in my ears "Best friends forever!" they shriek I smile reflecting back on the years that our youth was bright like the sunshine that engulfed our faces Now the memories remain a composed film Kept on the shelves in the corners of my mind Featured only in my dreams of the yester years. -2007 |
