More remote become
the years the memories
Harder to recall
the little details
Things once so important
love affairs heartbreaks
pains losses
births deaths
grandmothers mothers
fathers sisters brothers
gone long ago
Did we ever think
they would fade so?
A dream is the only place
they come to call
So real there
down to my son's baby curls
or a precious lover's skin
On waking
I am startled to see
where I am
Oh this is my life now
That other one is gone
Sadness for things lost
but surprise at how it fades by day
