Poem written for and submitted to Constance La France's "Yellow, Yearn, Yet, Yesterday Words Contest," 4/17/2024
“Yesterday is but today's memory, and tomorrow is today's dream.” Khalil Gibran
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In new spaces, echoes of yesteryears reside,
A tapestry woven with whispers, untied.
Unfamiliar winds, carrying tales of old,
Silent mysteries within tales unfold.
Brushed by hands that once held dreams so gold,
The heart's vast chambers, memories hold.
Yet, the path is forged with steps anew,
Leaving shadows of the past to gently strew.
Ancient whispers, soft but never old,
In unseen corners, their tales are told.
Whence the soul was set on fire and bold,
Now a flicker, yet a story to be retold.
Time dances in rhythm with life's grand reel,
Each step forward a touch of what's real.
Unveiling new spaces, the heart now feels,
Echoes of gold, the past's art reveals.
