thoughts once so clear now flee en mass like small birds scattering in the wind... try to capture one and it fades to dust in my trembling hand my eyes teared up by the loss... what was her name... when was it I smiled like the sun bursting through the clouds on that day... where did I misplace that long-sought device... where have all my yesterdays gone... all escapes along the shifting winds of age small beautiful birds plumage so bright and beautiful to behold loves and laughter, days of wonder and joy crumble into dust as my forgetful fingers pry at their edges, trying to recall... her yesterday was my forever do you think she remembers me? ... as I slip into forgetfulness I hope that I will no longer remember to mourn my forgotten yesterdays... age is coming for me and iv forgotten how to tame that ugly beast
