Reminders

Time elapses.
Dust settles.

Freedom and solitude
wear the same face.

Gathering of scattered masses,
working towards their metals

Alone in the multitude-
This is still the same place.

I recognize the outfits.
I see patterns and trends.

I stop and talk to people,
some my so called friends.

Green fades fast
into an orange blaze,

It takes a strong heart to get along these days.

I understand why you don't ask
but I'm doing just fine.

I'd like to think it hurts to ask
but we both have our reasons why.

Everything is fixed in time,
or at least that's what I'm told.

Maybe we just give up or forget
as we start growing old.

All I ask my friend,
is to live and forgive- with no regrets.

Remember the good, the inspiration.
Please do not forget.
