Memories outgrow the heart.

Fledgling love goes on without us.

With every single page we turn.

Across the pages while you sleep!

I somehow completely missed this wonderful little poem.

There is definitely no turning back...so true. Coulda shoulda wouldas!!!

"Naive turns smart"...and sometimes, sadly, can even sour a person.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
