Neon

#NaPoWriMo #GloPoWriMo Day 14

I have missed you before
In tangled thoughts
Jumbled recollections;
In a corner concealed
I found that one evening
We spent together

Hidden in a bulky album
Between pearl paper
Tender as papyrus
Gossamer stories
Motley of words, photos
Almost glowing neon

Just as they appeared
They soon disappeared
Blown far into the distance
In a fading Autumn breeze
Fragile yellow petals
Of wrinkled memories
