Once
Beneath light’s refracted illusions
Dying stars adorning clearest of sky
Traversing a universe’s, ephemerality
Witnessing, stainless hopes n dreams
Once, when smiles never felt precious
and Love, was as abundant as Time
When moonlight coveted our laughter
and we pulsed in-step with nature’s
Grace…

A most beautiful and distant view of eternity and its changes. Nothing is forever, but memories last as long as life and focusing on the wonderful brings nostalgia and peace.
Amen!
So many times in my life, I have heard an aged person relate a story beginning with the word "once". We are priviliged to have all of those once's in our lives. This is beautifully and so lovingly written dear friend!
thank you dear Poet, so glad you enjoyed the read
(privileged are we, who have our 'once'
to call on, in those twilight scenes
where breath and blink, wearily stutter
yet our heart's and mind's
choose, to so fervently remember...)
Oh for that time so expertly described in this perceptive write to be resurrected when "smiles never felt precious" - one your best my friend and into my list of faves this flies.
thank you dear Fay
so glad you're feeling better
and as always I'm humbled by your generous support

I read this work several times times and was very impressed and inspired by it. I think you used some great imagery. Good work.
