Description
Dreams are true while they last, and do we not live in dreams?
Alfred Lord Tennyson
AS I GREW OLDER
It was a long time ago.
I have almost forgotten my dream.
But it was there then,
In front of me,
Bright like a sun--
My dream.
And then the wall rose,
Rose slowly,
Slowly,
Between me and my dream.
Rose until it touched the sky--
The wall.
Shadow.
I am black.
I lie down in the shadow.
No longer the light of my dream before me,
Above me.
Only the thick wall.
Only the shadow.
My hands!
My dark hands!
Break through the wall!
Find my dream!
Help me to shatter this darkness,
To smash this night,
To break this shadow
Into a thousand lights of sun,
Into a thousand whirling dreams
Of sun!
Langston Hughes

Nostalgia...a feeling induced not only by the subject itself but also by great composition and detail of the image. fav and like.

Thank you so much Brenda! There is something about these old abandoned places that grabs my interest...I cannot help but wonder about the story of those that left it behind.
