Shadows Memory

daisiesnfld: Shadows Memory
.
Nighttime dreams of winter
Greet my shadow's memory
Photos behind the dusty glass
Peer out to follow me
.
Reminding me of yesteryear
When everyday the sun
Shone bright I did not realize
That day was almost done
.
Gaily I danced not watching
The moons that came and left
I never heard a warning word
They fell on ears deaf
.
Infallible in a perfect world
Those photos in their frames
Once we played in fields of hay
And childhood school yard games
.
I never thought to hug a sound
Or treasure even the path
But reveled in the adventure
While the youth and song did last
.
Footsteps once I listened for
Are silent in that path well worn
And whispered are the echo's
Of the shadows that are gone
.
