Memories smear our mind in such a way, that wherever we may be and however preoccupied our mind might seem, something or the other clicks in our mind and takes us towards the bygone days, making us remember those whose memories can never fade away.
It was a long drive to the hill top,
Where soothing breeze enveloped my heart,
certain memories faded away, though certain regained their charm.
I travelled leaving behind, the loss that can never be recovered,
least did I realise, that memories have an amazing power,
The power to hold on.....
where ever we may be,
For memories are a part of us .. a part of our being,
Its a memory that makes us smile, a memory that makes us weep,
and hand in hand with a row of memories, our life seems complete.
Covered in a blanket of memories I explored an alien land..
where I found my self again, a self well transformed.
Such is the power of memories my friends, that where ever you may be,
they would stand right next to you and would watch over in glee.
That's a gem of a post, Sana. I am awe-struck by your English. Glad to come across and as always, it has always been an enjoyable experience reading your post. Mind you, totally enjoyed reading to the core, though I wasn't in a mood to read the newspapers and blogs.
ReplyDeletevery true Sana.. Its the memory associated with the person that makes us happy or sad..
ReplyDeleteLast year when one of my close uncle died, i was feeling sad as all the memories attached with him were happy.. and i realized that how powerful memories are..
"Its a memory that makes us smile, a memory that makes us weep,
ReplyDeleteand hand in hand with a row of memories, our life seems complete" Good One..

Rightly put, Sana. memories lend the continuity. But, I think you should look up a different word instead of 'Glee' towards the end of a well written poem.
