Prompt- "A Blue Ribbon with frayed end" by MiriSaraie

A familiar scent that had clung to it's faded blue.

Stirred the memories of a distant childhood,

Which was now playing across the faded screen of mind,

In vivid and distinct  hues of a nostalgic sepia.

How mild and facile, life was then?

No obscure feelings and unsettling emotions.

No pretenses or suffocating masks of permanent smiles,

Just the pure sweetness of joy or the ache of innocent tears.

Now the colours of life have faded like that of this old ribbon.

Ends frayed and damaged beyond repair.

Yet like this precious souvenir from the pages of  past,

I might come across my old self, someday.

Late again. Sorry, but no internet connection.
