DAYS OF GOLD
Memories of days of gold
dance fondly in my mind's eye, bold.
Remembering those days of old
erases my heart's burdened load.
Within me burns desire to revisit those times
when misery was defeated by the thin of a dime.
Cherished sentiments of this kind
caress my restless and oh so weary mind.
Often, I wonder about those days and their mystery.
Are they lost in the vault of my faulty memory?
Have they been stolen by the hands of thievery?
Or perhaps they have been folded into a blanket of history?
Today my humbled hands only hold
rusted memories of those days of gold
when my life was painless, elated and whole
and when the depth of my anguish remained untold.

Lisa, this is liquid smooth and a most beautifully written poem   this part is great: "Often, I wonder about those days and their mystery.
Are they lost in the vault of my faulty memory?
Have they been stolen by the hands of thievery?
Or perhaps they have been folded into a blanket of history?" |

one of my fav's by you, Lisa. So nice seeing it here.
this is my favorite stanza:
Today my humbled hands only hold
rusted memories of those days of gold
when my life was painless, elated and whole
and when the depth of my anguish remained untold
