The past is watercolored

Prey of wind and showers

The paint-brushed details are blurry

Colors mesh together.

Names, places, forever gone

The spoken words are lost

No lyrics left to the song

Yet music still persists.

now, over my bread and wine

Sweet precious memories

Softly flow warmth through my mind

Pierce feeling to my soul.

My deeds and words will soon die

A silent ghost released

Someone gives a wistful sigh

My nameless past is felt.
