Echoes of Yesterday
In the twilight of dusk, we reminisce,
Of days gone by, in memories kissed.
The laughter echoes through the years,
Like a gentle breeze, it perseveres.
We are older now, than we once were,
Yet the past remains, a comforting blur.
The playgrounds we roamed, the streets we knew,
In our youthful hearts, forever it grew.
Friends we cherished, like stars in the night,
Their faces etched in our mind's soft light.
But time has whisked them, like leaves in fall,
Leaving behind an ache, a bittersweet call.
Our tomorrow looms, a shadowy wraith,
A mystery older, a fateful lathe.
We are but travelers, on life's winding road,
Clutching at moments, as they erode.
Yet in this bittersweet symphony of age,
We find solace in memories, a sacred stage.
For though our yesterdays now seem so far,
We remain mates to our days, beneath the same star.
