Remembering When....

Sitting back in yesterday,
I could remember
all the minute idiosyncrasties,
that at the time
did not matter.

Reflecting - often times,
a 'tear' might appear,
creating shivers filled
with despair.

Christmas comes and
christmas goes while
laughter turns into memories
of old.

Still intoxicated with yesteryear
about my trial and tribulations,
a wave of ecstasy drowns me.
I smiled.

Then reality took its toll.
Tomorrow was still--today's affair.
