Oh! How fast the times did really fly!

Those days of yore no more near by.

 

The distant days under a distant sun,

And distant thoughts only half begun.

 

Thinking over and over what I should,

In those distant moments of solitude.

 

And distant words - faint echoes now.

Some distant dreams had died somehow!

 

Those faded prints from a distant spell,

Just memories ringing some distant bell.

 

The fleeting shadow of a fleeting smile.

Lost in the dusts of that distant while!
