Fade to Past

Memories of one who has passed on, and the way you remember them

Awaken, don't sleep

A day with a smile across your face

dust off  the picture hanging there

on the place by the door

you look at it every day but hide your thoughts

Smile, the sun arises

remember when her laugh made you giggle

A spontanous snort from a held in memory

playing on the beach with our buckets and plastic tools in hand

To tame the wild sea

Build castles better than any one could make

See the sun fading...

Our day is gone

And you must leave

While I hold this picture

Of you and I

Reviews

First i must say thank you for the review. Now to the poem, i thought it was very well written...i cant really relate directly to someone who has passed on but i can relate in the way that i've lost someone dear to me. (My signature says it all) But besides my tragic little story i thought your poem was very well written :D

[Twilight]

What a kind and sincere tribute, to the one who has passed on! Furthermore, it is not overtly sentimental or exagerated in any way. I am sure that the special person who has passed on, deserved this fine homage, and would have appreciated your devotion.

The references to buckets and plastic spades etc, are a clear reminder of one's childhood. Those days when nothing we do really matters, because our parents or other family members, are there to watch over us. Distant memories, yet often cherished by those left behind.

Thankyou, for adding this poem to my Group, Kathryn!

so beautifully written, the imagery lingers in mind and the melancholy is near-tangible. stunning piece.

[Mr. Lopez]

This is a subject that so many can relate to and i am no exception. You describe the emotion so accurately that i found myself looking at the images of those close to me whom have passed in my minds eye. Thank you for the memories.
