Jag One - Fragments

HO trains and our family portrait
Behind the glass on Sunnybrook lane
Vinyl wood and that off-white carpet
Hide and seek in that antique scene
Old green truck and the architect's drawings
Fading like the autumn sun

Trees commence their transformation
Disrobing to their feeble bones
Piles of leaves we burrowed under
Til the town came around and gathered them up
Flourishing to break tradition
And branching out to a brand new day

Oh, fragmented bursts of time
Oh, how I remember them

Sickeningly sweet are my recollections
Like pools of light in a murky lake
All I possess is time for reflection
This euphoric heart does ache
Framed behind that glass protection
A former self that I envy

Recurring waves of profound introspection
I find that my youth was far from perfection
Bearing the burden of overprotection
And saving my soul from divine intervention

Oh, fragmented bursts of time
I often fail to remember them

They fade out like the autumn sun
Do I just forget, and let it all be done?
Or stick around and revel in diversion?
I think I'll wait and maintain my aversion
