Faint Reminiscences

Memories whispering faintly,

Those that had washed away,

Once again floating up the shore;

Long gone, since I was back here

Truly, felt like coming back to a lost home,

The warmth and the fuzzy feelings

I thought I had buried them

But the musings spoke yet again;

Never had I thought about who I would become

Only a faint glimmer of my possibilities,

But now I dare say

I happened to be better than I hoped I would be;

Reminiscing the old mysteries,

Stories we outgrew,

A mere piece of fiction

That resides as a part of my imagination now

How I wish I could hold onto,

The simpler, serene times

Wishful in meeting the naïve me yet again;

At times I still wish I could travel back,

Past the misery, past the enervation

To a better and easeful time,

A time long lost but never to be forgotten
