A Toast
To memories, lost to time
Sleeping in the twilight of my heart
Waiting patiently for an awakening
Remembrance brought fully to life
Images, engraved within the hollows of time
Forge through the misty skein of obscurity,
To greet me in the present
Embracing the surreal imagery
Longingly and fully
The newness of an old rendering
Restored to youth, the years dissolved
A small smile creases my lips before
This perfect memory recedes into the dusk
Awaiting reminiscence once more
To memories, lost to time
