When long ago comes back
again
into the mind thought
closed to then
the barriers that once
were strong
simply crumble into
mush.
And when mind unleashed
goes walk-abouts
it touches on the love
and joy
but always stops and
ends each trip
with a familiar
sadness.
That sadness stays to cloud
the days
of settled calm,
acceptance, peace,
and the mind must start
to build again
new and better
barriers.
And, yes, it toils each
day and night
till finally it’s
sealed up tight
and it breathes again
the air of one
happy to be home again.
That build and break
down nothing new
but it’s known that
somewhere, sometime,
the barriers will not
succumb
to those memories of
long ago!
