Faint Memories of Yesterday

Little whisper calls
A flash in the eyes
Nervous energy sparks
It’s the smell of hope
Taste of salt from the beach
Memories make clay of thoughts
Churning inside reaching for daylight
The touch of possible
Stirs lost sensations
Eyes delve for images
Time wisps away from now
Sepia shades of what was once
Crayons outline what could have been
Ifs and Whys dance in circles
Wants and needs choose next colors
Still the whispers persist
Distant dreams vividly wave like flags
Crying out to remind you
Here isn’t a destination but a passage
Faint memories of yesterday
Desperately trying to awaken you
From the sleep we call living
