In my mind’s recess, a soft cares
of memories and days gone by
A kaleidoscope of love and hope
And answers to the “Why?”
I fall within and live again
Those magic days bygone
My thoughts set free in reverie
Warmed by a setting sun
Another time in perfect rhyme
Now formed in my revision
I’m lifted up as I fill my cup
With reflection and a vision
Within my dream, or so it seems
The best of times has past
Yet still somehow, I cherish “Now”
And tighter still my grasp
Outside my mind my thoughts unwind
And now today returned
Living in yesterday is still no way
To face the future’s turn

Beautiful… nostalgia is a feeling that makes us smile and cry at the same time.. but it is true we have to return back to the present in the end.. 🙂

i found nostalgia to be very difficult. mainly because i have trouble looking back on it and not crying – i miss so many of those days, experiences and people. i try very hard not to think and just concentrate on the present – but – nostalgia is what typically fuels my writing. this is a beautiful piece.
