Analysis of Silhouettes And Symbols
Joe Strickland 1986 (Hobbysville, SC)
Silhouettes and symbols
Linger in the mind
Of the dreamer,
Haunting them
With memories
Of what was
And what could have been.
The words spoken
By that special someone,
So long ago,
Remain etched
In their memory,
Like a scar,
A constant reminder
Of a time
When life was simpler
And dreams were more
Attainable.
