Old But Not Faded Like The Curtains

Old, but not faded like the curtains.
Old and grey,
fading away like dreams, uncertain,
unlike the curtains,
that wave in the cold.
Unfaded,
but not old,
like the curtains.
Old eyes gaze
in streams of yesterday;
waves of cold November.
Uncertain dreams,
and memories faded.
Face and eyes old,
but not like the curtain's
yellowed white fabric.
