Remember

sepia toned memories
play through my mind
like old photographs
faded and fragile

moments of brilliant light
flashing bright and brief
behind my eyes
before fading slowly away

the autumn tones of twilight
bleed like paint
into the colors of darkness
navy black and white

moonlight stripes of silver
illuminate the shadows
fleeting thoughts
as the past becomes a dream

What's Mine is Mine

Nothing ever stays the same
Life goes on and feelings change
Through the grey and shifting tides
One truth remains: what's mine is mine

People that are so important
Friends and lovers near or absent
Distances of space and time
Near or far, what's mine is mine

Hold tight to all the things you cherish
Pictures fade and objects vanish
In the heart and in the mind
Both joy and pain, what's mine is mine
