MEMORIES

​

Lurking in the shadows of the past,

Joy, terror, anguish, mercy, tenderness

All recorded in the history book of remembrance,

Keepsakes for the antiquities of time.

Diaries of cherished reflections

That dance as a thistle seed on a gentle breeze

And fade with the elegance of a petal on an aged stem.

Delicate yet potent, ripples of pain and pleasure,

Sometimes indistinct, sometimes crisp,

But always...echoes.

Perhaps memories do not wither with the passage of time

And,  just as the splendor of a bloom,

Their vigor yields only to flourish

In an enduring state of grace.
