(brief renderings) Joe Fazio - Fading Memories

Описание

I have suddenly realized I have lost it. I have lost the joy that was in my life. When did that happen? I don't know the exact day...however as near as I can figure out, it happened slowly. Ever so slowly...almost unperceptively. Of course the joy in ones life manifests itself through that in life that one loves. And so... mine...my joy, slowly left...as those I love were no longer in my life. Some of it left, when I moved...and left behind the drooping willows that fronted the house I no longer have. The house where so many beautiful memories were born. Lots of it left...when the friends of a lifetime were house in places I no longer went to. It left when I stopped the ritual of fine dining in places where I was known by name. It left with scores of doormen, and servers that I had grow found of. Most of it...most of my joy, left with family...when came the day when holidays and other celebrations no longer was a part of my life. I miss the joy in my life. I miss all the loved ones that I shall never see again. Some dead...some scattered like leaves in the wind, to the far corners of the earth. As I grow older, faded memories of joy become less vivid. Until...a day like today...when something .or someone reminds me... Of Lost Joy...And Fading Memories. © Joe Fazio (brief renderings) Joe Fazio poemhunter.com/poem/fading-memories-3/
