Let Me A Shadow Of Memory Be

Noted Nest

Updated: Oct 3, 2024

By Shounak Sinha Ray



Let me a shadow of memory be:

Floating on the waves of forgotten time;

Bending o’er the grey clouds of Destiny;

Lost in the pages of unwritten rhyme.


Let me be the glimmer of such a flame,

That in the ashes of dead passion lie

When all love is spent: let me be the name

Exhaled in the fever of a hopeless sigh.


Let me be the red of an autumn leaf,

The vast scorching blue of a summer sky,

Cold white as winter; when numbed with grief,

Clouds of the past shall mist my bedewed eye.
