Faces And Places

0

THE FUDAMENTAL THINGS 001 AAI look for faces I once knew

I look at places both old and new

The faces have change

The places not the same

But in my mind’s eye

It’s all the same

I close myself in

And  the doubt out

Then I go and drift about

Remembering old flames

Loves lost and won

Friends of youth

Faces still young

So full of youth

With lives to be lived

And summers to be filled

I go to this place

Inside my mind

Sometime even

When there is no time

But as the years have left me here

With not much more than fear

I go to this place in my mind’s eye

And its ear

And there we all live

And never die

A lollypop world some will say

And make believe

A child’s play

It’s not today

That’s when I ask

Is it really gone

And in the past

To be left behind

A good memory

Is more than kind

And thank God

The child still plays

Inside my mind
