Faded Magic

A short little something that can be interpreted as being about traditions that don't hold the same kind of gleeful magic that they once did..

A pretty dress left for dust and mildew

 in a closet of abandoned dreams

 Retrieved and revived to be worn again 

only once toward the end of every year

Over magic faded and lost with the succession of adult years

the heart sheds many wistful tears

I really liked this! No, I loved it.
it definitely showed the wear of passing years, and wishes, I'm just basing this off what I got from it, but wishes of returning? or things left behind? I'm not sure, but it was an awesome, simply short, but has a lot of meaning behind it. =)

Thanks! But yeah...basically in a nutshell... i wrote this poem dwelling on how I remember as a child xmas and this time of year in general used to feel so magical and joyful and how I used to anticipate it wildly for weeks beforehand and nowadays with work and family being mostly all apart its more or less just another day and traditions now feel more like obligations...
But that's just how I felt at the time I wrote it...
Xmas is still fun though, getting to catch up with family have a big lunch and have some drinks..

No problem, i hope you read a piece of mines as well, though i have to admit i tend to write a bit on the darker side. No fairy tales or rainbows on my side of this site haha.

I really enjoyed the tenderness of this poem. Simplicity breathes fragrant upon the nastslgia of the reader's own experiences.
Thank you for sharing this inspiration.

It feels as if the magic of innocence and our childish beliefs that were soon gone due to knowledge fed upon us. How I missed my childhood years, when I still believed that the world is a happy place and magic is anywhere! Such a nostalgic piece of Literature! So nice! :)
