[bodytext] => 10 Years. Where did they go? Are they stored away in our closets of junk? Put away like a spare tire sleeping in the trunk Or washed away like rain in the city’s aqueduct Doesn’t matter; they were with us and now they’re gone Disappeared like a magic trick with a tip of a wand We can look forward or we can look ahead Close another chapter on the books we’ve read There was a time when kings and queens took the stage And we were just actors acting out our teenage We were the MTV generation when MTV still played music Alive when the world was electric but sounded acoustic For I remember when Grunge was young A scene in music that had just begun Or how 2000 seemed so far away A dawn of a new era scripted Y2K Memories come to me in flashes of yearbooks Faces painted with the past frozen in looks How we played in the fields and rolled in the grass When it came to 2000 we were that smoke free class But we are an existence in forward motion Perpetual like waves surfing the ocean Another reminder with each passing birthday That you can’t buy back your youth on E-bay Born in the eighties was how it began We took the nineties for a ride and ran And as the decade took its dramatic close We stood at the brink of two and three zeroes It smiled back at us in the rearview mirror For we had hold of the wheel ready to steer A decade’s joyride blazing a trail in haste Like the generations before us we have now replaced Our senior trip under the California sun Has suddenly set like 10 years on the run And beneath the ashes of everything we’ve done Burns a beginning of what has yet begun For we have graduated into adulthood Like saplings into trees in a forest of wood No longer children lost in the could, would, and should We are standing on the place where 10 years once stood Now some of us are married, have jobs, raise children Try to make sense of this world we live in No matter what we do or where we are We share 10 years that have carried us so far 10 years gone to be followed by ten more And soon 20 years will come knocking on our door To add to the time that disappears Until then it’s just 10 years.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
