A different sort of glimmer <br />'Tis shed in Spring time days <br />Along the red rose gardened path <br />Where youth and love once stayed <br /> <br />The Light shed 'twas much brighter <br />The air fresh with a rose kissed mist <br />The arms of my cherished lover <br />Brought us together with eternal kiss <br /> <br />But those days they are gone forever <br />Aging dreams of a rose coloured lane <br />When my youth took me to higher altitudes <br />And kept at bay any shred of pain<br /><br />Theodora (Theo) Onken<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-days-of-yore/
