As Teen Years Go By

So do my treasured emotions

Photo by Nick Nice on Unsplash

I miss the melancholy years, the sixties and early seventies, when I gazed out my window and saw the rain falling

It was good to feel sad, to dwell on unrequited love, rock band heroes lost, and friends who moved away

Those times were a calming mist that filled my grassy breezeway, a song by Marianne Faithfull, watching my teen years go by,

when people’s voices didn’t bother me, troubles had names, and a glance of hope shone through the splintered sunlight

Ah, those were the times, I felt more in touch with myself, more connected to the world, when feelings were treasured and kept safe and warm.

Marianne Faithfull sang As Tears Go By, written by Jagger, Richards, and Oldham. Her singing of this song inspired this poem.
