in the faded pages
of this old book
memories danced
in delicate ink
within those worn lines
the scent of a forgotten summer
hung in the air
mingling with the crisp pages
every turn revealed pieces
of a life once lived
etching the essence of existence
onto blank paper
it cradled whispered secrets
and the echoes of a soul
reaching for the infinite
and as the story unfolds
its final page beckons
reminding me
to savor the present
for it too shall become
just another memory

OMG!! One of your very best, Sweet Poet!!! From the very first word to the last was an amazing experience. Every line like a bite of an exquisite morsel or chocolate or a slow visual of the very words you wrote. This one keep me on a high from first to last word. Be sure this is included in your top 10 list! When I finished I heard myself going Mmmmmmmmmmm!!!!! Belissimo, Dearest, Bellissimo!!
