OLDEN DAYS

     Rushing recollections teem from hometown corners      Real life forever smaller than misted memories      warped by child vision of twisted perception      Laughter and regret entwined like fun and fear      A roller coaster ride of past impressions       long forgotten desires and dreams denied      Unchanged streets resurrecting wants, wishes      Or un-remembered pain and pleasure      an unreal reality of some spent day      Mixing of past and present like oil and water      Not a mixing at all really, more an over-lapping      or overshadowing by shadows themselves      A slowly surfacing entanglement of buried treasure      Causing certain smile and sadness, born of      unfamiliarity, rising, Lazarus-like      Appearing and disappearing with the predictable      Unexpectedness of some magical wizard      dancing on those days of nevermore...
