Don’t you take a leaf from your memory
And hoard it away in the safe.
Your mind sifts through the times past
Filing the precious moments to be saved for eternity.
.
Then you lock the safe and throw the key away,
Because you have the strength to move forward.
.
But then the temptation rears its ugly head,
Mocking with the tantalizing flashes of simpler times.
When all is left is to smash it open
And scatter the vestiges of the souvenirs into the wind.
.
You are empty-handed, without the safe or those recollections,
Left with exhaustion, incapable of creating more impressions.

And then maybe you rest as long as you need to, regain your strength, and move forward, wiser than before.

Precious memories more and less
Emotions of the past still living now
as memories and emotions same..
when we die a little bit in
the present those
memories
that
are emotions
are indeed what
can and will also
bRinG uS Back to LiFE NoW..
Thing is if one can remember the emotions
of past memories those emotions are as real
and youthful as they ever were are for now my FriEnd..
there was/is a day of oral traditions where all of life is memories
and other fictional stories about emotions to be related to others
who perhaps have not
yet embarked
in a potential of
consensual realities
of emotions and senses that
do exist.. and sure Blogs are just
the Modern online version of that as
the World’s peoples stART to come toGeTHeR
to see that as alWays it is hope and love that glues
a unity of peace and harmony in life in joy loves company
and fear and hate that separates a division of discord
and discontent in death as life as misery loves
company more than the place of
Joy that is truly a real
Super Normal reality
of a Heaven
within
my friEnd..
Golden Years
always live in joy
and Karma loves Loving
Company and sure there are
other kinds of Companies and Towers too
so much lower than a power of love that feels
and senses life as real Heaven now.. Heals with enough
stories of emotions as memories that spell unity of love
perhaps
more
people
will come
to the other good
place my friend and live..
A Dance and Song at least
For that ‘other thing’..isREaL2.. anYWaY..
Have a Nice Day Prajakta NoW with sMiLes if you will..
