grayscale
memories stacked neatly
in locked up photographs
once prominently displayed
now distant and dustless
like oddly real dreams
never truly understood
do I dare open the box
and relive all the fears
hidden behind nervous smiles
below cloudless skies
never imagining the future
would ever come to this
december two thousand fourteen

I find this very moving. I listened to it three times. Thank you for sharing your words.
And thank you for visiting and sharing your thoughts.
A scary thought … those dreams unfulfilled..
yes, or dreams belonging to someone else..
