Day 7: Postcard from Yesterday

Apr 8, 2024

A post restante prompt from NaPoWriMo

Wanderer’s Wish

W andering took me to
I slands as stepping stones
S hort hops led to longer
H auls across oceans

Y esterday slipped
O ver the horizon
U nobserved

W hile distance unravelled,
E very memory tethered securely
R esisted the unshackling
E ven astride hemispheres

H ow was I to know age weathers
E ach passing year erodes a little
R emembrance, a little history,
E choes fading from mind.
