Notes From The Past (poem)
24th Street San Francisco
How different now it all seems to be
The notes from the past which took me away
Those things which yet toy with my memory
-
Are these the streets which set a youth free
Adventures delights to which I would stray
How different now it all seems to be
-
Were these the doors which once sheltered me
They opened to hope and closed off dismay
Those things which yet toy with my memory
-
A page out of time was my family
Which made up a part of pages today
How different now it all seems to be
-
From terrors abuse and hardships I’d flee
And still they found paths to nightmares to play
Those things which yet toy with my memory
-
From ashes of storm grew a mystery
Who found in darkness a brighter array
How different now it all seems to be
Those things which yet toy with my memory
