Poem: "What is a Memory"



Memories live in  faded photographs and clips of childhood hair.

Wisp of thought that lay in wait for a ocean breeze or scent of cotton candy

Then rush forth and bring that slight smile to the lips

 

Memories are the ghostly manifestations of our lives in retrospective

entangled echo's of  pain, laughter, and heartbreak cast upon the conscience   

Making the soul reflect on the many moments that transpire in a lifetime

 

Memories are a human beings most precious possession

provocative and evocative symbols which teach us the truth about ourselves

Setting us free to remember the things we loved and the things we lost

 

Memories are essential aspects of the human condition

immutable, intrinsic, and extraordinary evidence that we have lived

Fulfilling and completing our stories
