I Wander
by Alicia VannWith every age
the road narrows.
Ponder the whispers
long forgotten
by some.
I forgot
or forget sometimes
to steal a moment
and seal a memento.
I did not notice
the narrowing of time
or the pace at which
your time had come.
I now walk in footsteps
formerly planted
to soak up a memory
and understand
what road may
be left for me.
I yearn to learn
from it or lean on it
for solace.
Make me a token for
years of something.
So I can find my way
again. 10/19/2004 Posted on 10/20/2004

| Posted by Kenneth Lau on 10/20/04 at 02:58 AM Man, i really really like this poem.
Fave lines are "to steal a moment and seal a memento" Thinking about it I think it is the imagery of this that really got me.
"make me a token for years of something" really gets me too. |
