DWINDLED DISTANCES

From the yellowing pages

Remnants of the past 
Buried in memories

Another time and place, 
Eyes peeped from behind

Frazzled, frayed edges 
Twinkling at me, 

And the thoughts interlace.

Eyes that see through

The smiles that hide

Painted upon my heart 

The shades of umbrae,

Wiped from time 

It’s yesterday once more

As friends we meet again

And the years fall away....

Friendships flower in His Grace.
