~FADE AWAY~ Ripples in the water flow then they cease to be Lost in each ring's motion of a lifelong memory Tides of time in every single drop the things that were amiss I search the water as I search my mind and begin to reminisce Sitting alone here looking deep thinking of times and places rearranged If life were all mine once again is there anything I could have changed Perhaps, yes, perhaps, no I really do not know But, that is past and the past is gone So very long ago And just as each water's ripple fades away and is no more Fade away, haunting past It's time to close that door Copyright © 1/25/04 NOTE: These original writings are copyrighted and may NOT be reproduced, distributed or displayed in any way or form without the author's expressed and written permission.
