I was slipping out of focus , barely hanging on .
You were fading in the distance , and were nearly gone.
This was someone else's vision.
Whose I don't recall.
Naked trees stood in the background .
Indicating it was after our fall.
Cobwebs in the attic of the mind .
Dusting off old times .
Spur tales that will unwind .
Stored away for someone else to find.
In a distant time, will history be kind.
Frozen smiles, eyes distracted,
Styles that all have changed .
Family portrait , still together.
Neatly all arranged.
House of cards that still was standing .
Harboring false claims.
Different angles capture cryptic clues,
That all would soon be up in flames .
Cobwebs in the attic of the mind .
Dusting off old times .
Spur tales that will unwind .
Stored away for someone else to find.
In a distant time, will history be kind.
Mothers trading home spun tales,
Inside a country store .
Children laughing, building castles,
On a seaside shore.
Fathers round the table,
Casting caution to the wind.
One last family gathering ,
Before all the ranks would start to thin.
Cobwebs in the attic of the mind .
Dusting off old times .
Spur tales that will unwind .
Stored away for someone else to find.
In a distant time, will history be kind.
