FADED

Colors fade, fabric, drapes

near windows - couch covers

in time - and many ups and

downs - come to think about it -

when people move to Florida

or Colorado - or a dad dies -

memories, moments, stories

start to fade - drifting into

grey clouds that slip into the

distance - down to the bottom

of the earth, water, sky within.

But then again - someone says

something - I hear a song -

I drive past the past and you

rise for a moment and I remember.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
