A lone, shadowy figure
wafts in and out of a creamy white mist,
draped in a somber linen cloak,
and appearing to float just beyond
the twisting reeds and unruly grasses
that guard this secluded pond.

I inhale.
Such sorrow is divulged
within the depths of his gaze.
saturates my soul
like a soaking summer rain.
Gasping for breath,
I grasp at nonsensical conclusions
as time pulses out loud.
couples mid-air with the perfume
of freshly bloomed honeysuckle,
heightening my unannounced euphoria.
Resolute cognizance
washes over me straightaway.

why he has lingered nigh,
enslaved by such sadness.
"I was certain your memories
of yesteryear had flown."

Yes, it did and a thing of beauty is timeless. I'm sometimes in awe of poems I wrote at seventeen - the more real, the more they last
