Leavetaking

Ebb and flow
Circle of life spins
Faces pass through
Ghosts in time
Reminders of a happier time
Echoes of hello
Talking wires lie silent
Loneliness solidifies strength
Blank eyes stare out
Memories harken back to another time
Life passages
Walls talk amid your path
Pictures in the mind
Faces of the past dance
Memories of a lively past
Sadness of reality hidden
They litter the mind like fall leaves
