Old thoughts

The road behind me looks thin, worn out

Too many people have trod this thin strip of memory

Wet tarmac shines back. Old thoughts lay forgotten

Old memories drop like winter leaves

Old friends come to mind

Too many lost to time

The road that lives behind me

Where memories linger, waiting to be revisited

There are many passages in my past

That are worth revisiting

Others I should leave in the dark

Looking back, digging over old ground

Isn’t the best use of your time

If you look back far enough

You’ll meet yourself coming around the bend…

    Oh, very well done. I enjoyed the strong feeling I got from this, regret mingled with wistfulness. I’ve always thought that microflash, at its best, has a lot in common with poetry. :)
