Then and Now by Katrenia G. Busch
Glimpses and shadows that speak
From the corner of my eye do I see
Memories passing— growing antique
Yet— you seem to still follow me
Forgotten words from when I was young
Thoughts that appeared in my youth
Words issued from that youthful tongue
That now hold more meaning and truth
In the shadows of time you lurk
Following after the future me
With words you spoke that now work
As nothing less than prophecy
For now I’m reminded of you always
When the time has now finally arrived
Your old thoughts fulfilled and now conveyed
By the life that’s formed by words revived
