Quotation: Toni Morrison

“Freeing yourself was one thing, claiming ownership of that freed self was another.”

― Toni Morrison, Beloved

Time has passed into the ages

Time passed swiftly into the ages

Only leaving behind memories

I tried to hold on to them to honour them

But with changing time came changing dynamics

Everyone had separate views and opinions

Now the places which brought sweet memories are all altered

Some just gone changed drastically

I used to ruefully remember the moments as I looked around

But now when I do they are not the same and it is hard to imagine the days

Days have passed away into the pages of history
