Reflection Part III – Where Have All The Good Times Gone?

I've had just enough time to...   try to see his reflections on the water.

Taken in the same Taiping Park in Taiping, Malaysia

What does he see

When he looks into the water?

Does he see the years that went by?

Does he see regrets floating on the surface?

Does he see opportunities lost?

Does he see paths that should have been taken?

Goals that should have been achieved?

Or does he see

The reflections of his grandchildren

And is contended with that

_______

Won't you tell me

Where have all the good times gone

Where have all the good times gone

Where have all the good times gone

Once we had an easy ride 

and always felt the same

Time was on our side 

and I had everything to gain

Let it be like yesterday

Please let me have happy days

Reflection Part II – Memories of the Way We Were

I've had just enough time to...   reflect on the way we were

Taken while strolling round Taiping Park in Taiping, Malaysia.

The reflections on the water

Sweep the memories pass

Its calm surface

To a misty land

Of ghostly images

That pulls at the heartstrings

Vibrating

And exciting

Emotions

Long thought dead

_______

Memories,

Like the corners of my mind

Misty water-coloured memories

Of the way we were

Scattered pictures,

Of the smiles we left behind

Smiles we gave to one another

For the way we were
