Look back in Sadness.
(Written as Tanka)
Bundle of photos
Face down in a cigar box
Family and friends
From a time that is a dream
Fading into eternity
Mostly black & white
How young my parents looked
Now I’m the oldest
Siblings faded fast away
As I sailed many seas
Non returnable
Past’s gate is firmly padlocked
Wait in no mans land
Know there is no remedy
The past really is a dream.
