Memories II

The windy day
Brings about nonchalant feelings
Scooping the memories
Buried long long ago.

Where do memories live
Once trounced by time
I keep wondering
Since the day, I left behind.

Mysteries remain
As usual in my mind
For memories do not die
They keep us living, and dying.

Dangling the baits of attachment
Memories come and go
In pain and in pleasure
Leaving me swaying alone.

Memories of heyday
May be the best of all days
Yet every memory holds a special place
In that place, where I cherish my life dearly.

Be it sad, be it happy
Memories surely brings about tears of joy and sadness
Tears that count the saddest part
Tears that count the joyous part
In the life that once I breathed in the past.

My prayer is one
Let it be the best of memories
Garnered with beautiful relationship
To accompany me eternally.

  1. 'For memories do not die
    They keep us living, and dying.'...one can read a lot into this line. Memories are of the past though - I like walking in the present. :)

  5. Thank you Janice...you are right buddy. But, the at times the mind succumb to the past without us realizing it.

    Yeah Venus...memories do not die and not that easy to wipe off. Thank you for the comment.

    Sage, are you a real sage? :).You are right Sage, there is definitely a link between the wind and memories. In fact we are in a complete network with nature all the time. Thank you for enjoying the piece.

    Hi Stacey..memories, especially good ones are the priceless possession one may have. For many, good memories drive them through life, while painful memories help them to walk through experience. Thank you.
