Nostalgia
living in the past
reaching out for the echoes
of what used to be
–
wistful
remembering the way
things never were
living in the past
reaching out for the echoes
of what used to be
–
wistful
remembering the way
things never were
when I’ve lost my way
the candle in your window
beckons me back home
–
wandering-
guided towards
your light
semaphore flags snap
high in the ominous sky
double back and red
–
a tempest-
warning flags
flying high
a paper lantern
carried aloft on the breeze
lights the evening sky
—
twilight-
illuminated by
a passing lantern
often I frequent
my mind’s darker recesses
to search for solace
Or
in the dark corners
of my mind
seeking peace-
The night’s slow passage
A stanza in the poem
Of my sleeplessness
