MANY YEARS AGO

nephilim56

Theres a mist
Upon Lake Como
Ambient sound
Of moving waves
Its the place
Where we fell in love
Many years
Ago.

The rising dawn
It glitters
Upon the surface
Of the lake
Where once
We made love
Many years
Ago.

Time has passed
So many dawns
So many stars
Have adorned
The memories
Of moving waves
Many years
Ago.

    I love the way you set this up with the image of the mist to begin with that represents time past to me and the dimness of memory this is emphasized in the repetitions of the phrase many years ago. It comes to me like repeating waves and reverberates like an echo from the past. A lovely write and a fave
