" TIME PASSAGE "
Like time pressed in memory
She sits graced with age
Romantic images dance
From a small candle glow
The story she tells
Is one of long ago
Gentlemen callers come and go
A faded dress worn from time
Hangs in the corner, no reason or rhymne
A ball once attended
A lover's quarrel - not quite mended
Like time pressed in memory
She sits graced with age
The world around her
Becomes a stage
