| The Negative |
| Fire destroyed our tangible memories�
And you, on that fateful winter�s day, Nothing is left to remind me of The happiness and love that we shared. Our life together became scattered ashes Tossed away by the wind�like leaves, I�m so lost without you beside me Your face a hazy image in my mind�s eye. At my parent�s house up in the attic I wander through the maze of stored memories, Lives hidden in a menagerie of cardboard Good times and bad cosseted away. Sifting through boxes of forgotten dreams I pluck a single negative from the tangle, Raising it to the light to glimpse the scene It�s YOU, and my world is renewed again Copyright�2004M.A.Anderson Brisbane, Australia Word count: 114 |
