Those were the times <br />And beautiful days <br />Colorful moment mimes <br />Their drifting ways <br />Everything just leaving <br />Making time for new <br />In their short briefing <br />Always coming through <br /> <br />Those were the drifts <br />Flowing and giving <br />On to freshly airlifts <br />Once in times living <br />When days were all young <br />Like blossoming garden <br />In the flowers among <br />Before cold start harden <br /> <br />Those were the hours <br />That always made its best <br />Among deep shade flowers <br />That later were compressed <br />In to a dry pale bouquet <br />Or between two book sheets <br />And time was its alleyway <br />in memories and beats<br /><br />Peter S.
