Nostalgia

Vanished paths

Memories of old we lived

Of moments we shared

Running and tugging

Along rustic paths

From the village church

To the dusty fields

Oblivious of our vanishing paths

Vanished paths

So far in the yonder

Of a childhood we shared

Jumbling and muddling

Like a mad man’s gig

With giggles and mumbles

Naïve of our future paths

Our vanishing paths

Vanished paths

A past of our youth

Of dreams we shared

Now washed to the distance

Hugging and haggling

Like a pair of torn shorts

Caught in the dangle and tangle

Forgetful of our vanishing paths
