Yesterdays slip away too fast,
escape my desperate, feeble grasp.
Then the past fades into misty clouds (Edit omit - 'Then')
elusive, transitory, lost in time.
Quick, bright, flashes
butterfly around
settling and fluttering
as they touch my mind.
Too brief.
Turned to dust and ashes
leaving a gulf of emptiness, vast and wide
where stored-up memories
should reside.
