Vanished Past

Vanished Past
 
Lost in moments carrying you afar,
beneath star's and moonlight's vanished past;
stir the memories captured in times ago,
their sparkle seen from eye's soft cast.

Through mist of glint - yesterday still resides,
known as somewhere to always belong;
so oft with tears but ending with smiles,
a place so real - thoughts that take you home.

Into a backdrop from heart's very own,
forever special - tucked in guarded keep;
cherished sights and sounds held tightly near,
come them wakened for all that truly seek.

With life's breath given to shadows of souls,
ageless faces - together in mind;
parted loved ones who've felt Heaven's touch,
beside you in a world they left behind.

Perhaps in the years - someday to follow,
I'll be seen from eye's soft cast;
forever a memory in someone's home,
a sparkle in star's and moonlight's vanished past
