This Day, Years Ago

This Day, Years Ago

Oh, this day seems to touch
so many of my hidden feelings.
Laying open some of the layers
as tho I was a fruit with peelings.

It scratched deep enough
to pull up scars of yesterday.
Still leaving me breathless
with many things I could say.

On this day I relive
the horrors and so much pain.
Perhaps that's why it was locked away
hoping I'd not revisit it again.

A decade passed quickly
while I kept my mind away.
Knowing sometime in the future
I'd recall the events of this day.

Sometimes I actually think I can here you in my minds ear in the cadence of your poetry.  I would love to hear an audio of this. ;)  C.  http://journals.aol.com/gdireneoe/thedailies
