The flickering light
Fantasy frequently fades
into the tender
shattered shades of time .
as the petals
of the present
pass their prime .
And willingly
wither away
into the
youthful yearnings
for yesterday .

I'm thinking...
that this is what happens when you daydream, fantasizing about what might have happened, it certainly could lead to yearning for never was. Nice flow and method. Geez.

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.

Thank you
I call it flickering light because the present is a flickering light slowly burning out into the past.
In life you have to deal with change time doesn’t care for what is gone . It just goes on you just have to learn how to move with it and enjoy the moment before it fades back into the pastures of the past.
Hlm life without literature is a life without logic.

Words of truth
Perspective is everything. You’re certainly correct.
