As I sifted through all my stuff this week, I inevitably unearthed old photos, gadgets, and trinkets that transported me back through time. I was instantly overwhelmed with an array of emotions as I reminisced down memory lane.
Memories flood mind..
unwind time and throw back the shades
of what once was and never will be
again.
These moments skew
in our favor
a bittersweet appreciation..
rose-colored retrospect tints this scene
like a sepia-toned photograph,
stamping out the negative,
and chasing off ennui
What's left is painted
in fondness and longing
a pain.. a twinge..
an ache..
a smile twists from the corner of my mouth
as tears well in my eyes
A timeless haven buried deep down
bubbles up
companions on a journey
a feel..
a scent..
a sound..
a song..
a laugh..
a cry..
like warm sun on my cheek,
a familiar breeze through my soul..
In a moment, it's passed,
but the essence still lingers.
A place unreturnable, beckons..
gone forever, but
somehow remains
beneath the sand..
