Lights go dim

~Lights go dim~

Like a silent movie
That old chattering screen
Frame by frame
Memories together with
New times rolling past.

~lights can dim at any moment of time~

That canoe on the lake
Paddling through fog
A faint silhouette
Back of the hand
Silent in wave.

At times perhaps, while deep in your thoughts
You wish
You'd offered more
Of what and why you didn't give~

When you have a good friend in life that you can trust and count on, let them know it. You never know when that friendship will go away. Just sayin.................
