Two Poems

#1

- RetroVision -

With years now grown in number
My thoughts are prone to wander
Among all the harder moments
Where my life has come to rest
To view them with a softer sight
To weigh them with a wider mind
To wrap them in a warmer heart
And finally to forgive myself
For doing what I thought was best

#2

- Fairy Tale -

In love with the illusion
Of a glance that speaks
A lifetime of mutual devotion,
We each become an echo
Of the story
The other wants to hear.
