A Simpler Time

Standing in a line
In a room full of strangers
What will I find
Walking through the door

Where are you now
My long forgotten dreams
All those sweet autumn days
Playing in the leaves

When memories come alive
Stirring images in our minds
Peaceful sounds of a shoreline
Skipping all those stones

Laughing in the breeze
Doing whatever we please
Singing a happy song
When its raining leaves

Nothing lasts for long
Is the title of this song
So put your mind at ease
A good life won’t displease

When you live each day
Rising up to do the chores
Like so many rolling waves
Washing up unto the shore

Ahhh..the yearning for those simpler times. They never seem to leave us. I really enjoyed this one, Yankee. Here's to hoping for better waves and sun kissed shores. wine
