Fading

The past is a long time ago
and it is going further.
The friends I held close
are barely warm in my mind.

Hopefully moreso still
in the heart.
Even as the mind
with the past
goes further.

An unfortunate fact of life, Peter. You've managed to say a lot in so few words. Nice.

Thanks for the responses, Mary and Joseph.

Peter

It is true that we often grow apart from our companions Good little ditty here, Peter.

Les

A profound pensee, Peter.

A pill to refresh memories would be enticing, though one would have to be able to cope with the bad as well as the good.

Ian

Amen to that, Ian.

Thank, les and Ian. I didn't think it became a poem until I moved the word 'Fading' from its last line to being its title.
