Reminiscing

Reminiscing,
Over days long gone
The memories, bittersweet
Like an invisible hand
Tugging at the strings of your heart
A harp
The notes linger
Sending ripples of nostalgia

Is it a face, a smile or a song?
Or that feeling of something missing
Something there
And yet
Not

When tomorrow looms
Large and mysterious
The past seems to draw you into its bosom
Like a mother
Achingly familiar
But the umbilical cord is gone
A separation forever

For a moment
The pain is so real
You are transported
Hurtling
Back in time

No
Tomorrow can’t be as good
Nothing can compare
To that sweet past
