This is a reflective poem about love, memory, and self in life’s quiet moments. With vivid imagery, I want to convey a timeless connection to people, places, and past dreams.

Yes, It celebrates aging gracefully, cherishing memories, and finding beauty in solitude.

Memories of a Distant Yesterday

In the hush of dawn, I sip on time,
A quiet world, where dreams still climb.
Footsteps echo from forgotten days,
Where laughter lived in golden rays.

My heart, once fierce with youthful fire,
Now glows with softer, deeper desire.
I walk alone, yet never apart —
For memories linger within my heart.

Your smile returns in a passing breeze,
A fleeting touch that puts me at ease.
The roads I travel, I know your name,
Moments shift, but my soul’s the same.

I paint with colors I cannot speak,
And write in silence — strong yet meek.
The stars above, they know my truth:
That age is kind when filled with youth.

So let the world keep rushing by,
I’ll stay beneath the tender sky —
Where love once bloomed, and still it stays,
A life’s sweet song that won’t fade away.
