THE OLD NOTE

nephilim56 ( Norman Dickson)

Was it my hand
Which wrote that note
Found now
Within
Times opening
Cloak.

So many years
Have gone by
Smiles 
Laughter
Tears
Cried.

The paper
Upon which
Those lines
Serve remembrance
Words
Define.

A bitter time
Melted away
Betrayal bare
You a ghost
No longer
There.

    I feel sadness and loss in this poem that has a haunting quality. It reads like a voice out of the fog. Very nice

    Beautiful! I loved finding old notes and written stuff in various nooks of the old ancestral home, when it was still aroundโ€ฆ almost as fun as taking a ride on a true to life time machine ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ•Š
