989 - Mental Turns

Poet’s United Midweek Motif : Nostalgia

Mental Turns

Nostalgia plays 

Its siren song;

We fall 

Beneath its spell.

We reconstruct 

The past and smile

At stories it can tell.

It’s false,

This bright and mental waltz.

Futile

And quite pointless because

Wistfully hopeful, we long

For something 

That never was.
