the little things of yonder past
reminiscent of the memories that last
the flicker of smiles and winds that blew
of faces distant yet brings warmth anew
the mistakes made with carefree abandon
ah the present laughs with jolly derison
every moment forged in a neuron evanescent
looking back at recollections convenient
collective amnesia will never delete
the pain the joy and everything replete
with the blank spaces in time and beneath.
